"While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about."
~Angela Schwindt
I was never really into having children before I met Amy. I liked them enough but I didn't have that now constant "YOU SHOULD HAVE A BABY" voice in my head as I do now*. Then, inevitably, I suppose, a love and adoration developed for Noah. And subsequently over the years for Ezra and now Ike. I make time to see them whenever I'm in Washington. I curse my way to their home because of traffic and then I am there. They are there. Just like that everything is perfection and legos and wooden apple pies that I should blow on because IT'S HOT! I find myself surrounded by love and hugs and a cuddly baby boy. They are sweet and charming and unfortunately you don't get to see all of it from online. Amy can weave a story so you get them in pieces but oh, how much you miss from real life. Because how they are is perfection ten-fold. I will consider myself beyond lucky and perfectly blessed to end up with just one child who is exactly like them. Oh how I hope and pray.
*A story for another time. Promise.

Amy does make gorgeous babies, doesn't she? I nearly stole Ezra in Chicago.
Well THANKSALOT. Now *I* need a baby too.
Dave is going to be so pissed at you.
I hope you get your chance. I have never loved anyone like my kids.
