I came across this post today http://momastery.com/blog/2012/01/04/2011-lesson-2-dont-carpe-diem/ and it made me think back to some of the moments of this past week:

We were at a birthday party yesterday and Keith picked up his Scrabble Chees Its and told me the letters on them...time froze and I thought wow he is smart, and cute

I kissed Jacob when I thought he was asleep and told him I loved him...a minute later I heard "I love you too mom."  Then today I was cuddling with Keith and Jacob started playing with my hair and rubbing my back then cuddled up next to me and I thought I'm the luckiest girl to have boys who love me.

Teancum sat on my lap during church today, time froze as I looked at how big he was getting and hoped that no matter how big he gets he never outgrows wanting to sit on my lap.

Watching Keith and Jacob share, then hearing Jacob say that Keith and him are friends.

Dancing with Keith...I never get tired of dancing with my boys and holding them close.

The moments when I look at Teancum and see his freckles, his curved nose and keleidascope eyes along with his impish grin and think how beutiful and precious he is.

Ryan and I holding hands while checking on our garden, and later watching him tickle and wrestle the boys..he is the greatest father and friend I could ask for in a husband.

How great are the blessings of the Lord, God of Israel.
