Blessing #2 - My Babies

If this listing was in order of importance, this one would be on the top of the list hands down everytime.  I have wonderful children. 

Jamie, Libby, and Ryan strike a pose for their last formal portrait together.

Jamie is smart and sensitive.  He's always been the kind of kid that you can reason with, and he has been blessed with an amazing intelligent mind that amazes me.  He has grown to be one of the most loving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. 

Ryan is fiesty and loyal.  He isn't afraid to take chances or embrace emotion.  He is witty, fun, and fearless.  Having gone through so much in his short years, he can be exceptionally stubborn when hurt, but loves with all his heart and really knows what it means to appreciate the people in his life.

Libby is brash and bold.  She approaches life with a take no prisoners attitude that I wish I could learn.  She's the first one to pull the tears from my eyes every time.  She has that inexplainable ability to steal one's heart within moments.  When I found out she was going to be a girl, I was so scared that she was going to be a girly-girl that I wouldn't be able to relate to.  Instead God sent me a angel that may prefer Sleeping Beauty to Speed Racer, but she can hold her on with the boys without breaking a nail.

Libby, Ryan, Jamie, and I cuddled up during July 2010 visit.

I have been so lucky to meet the three of them.  I'm proud to call them my own, and I have been blessed beyond measure for the time that I have gotten to spend with them.  Hopefully I will be blessed with many more moments in many more years with them, but for now I count my time with them as my greatest blessing.
