Just thinking today about how much I love being a mom!  I remember when we first brought Charity home, and Harrison was just 7 months old, there were times when I was concerned that someone wasn't going to get all they needed.  I wanted to make sure that they both had enough to eat, enough holding and loving (not like that was ever a problem), and that the other would never resent the other for any reason.  My time was divided and my energies were divided, and sometimes it seemed like there might not be enough to go around.  But, surprise surprise...here they are the very best of friends.  Harrison watches out for Charity - he's the ever protective brother.  Charity smiles for him and looks for Harrison, enjoying his company because he belongs to her...here were a few moments that I caught on film during the past week..

Adorable pictures. You've done such a good job of helping your children be friends and not rivals. I love the glasses. Joel was wearing an almost identical pair today along with a sword and shield. Hilarious.
Love you! Sara

So cute. "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward....happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;" It's true that the Lord never gives is more than what we are able to bear (1st Cor. 10:13) Many blessings to you all!

It was your quotation of Henry van Dyke's hymn that caught my eye--given the fact that today is the 157th anniversary of his birth. Love the family pictures. Looks like a house full of joy indeed!

If you love the old hymns, and would like to learn a bit more about the song you quoted, I invite you to check out my daily blog, Wordwise Hymns. God bless.
