Perfection

Today Marin was lying on her back 'playing' with her toys. I went over and lay next to her and started stroking her face and talking to her. She immediately forgot all about her toys and looked right at me and gave me a huge smile. Her eyes lit up and her face just became so expressive - it was an absolutely precious moment.

We are so unbelievably lucky to have four healthy children. So many children (and parents) are struggling against incredible odds, and battling brutal health demons. So many would-be parents struggle with infertility and miscarriges. Yet Chris and I have been blessed with four healthy, beautiful children.

I'm not a religious person by any means, but I truly believe that we have been blessed with our kids. We are certainly not perfect parents, and our kids are definitely not perfect, but when I look into their eyes, hear them laughing, or watch them playing I see pure and utter perfection. I would give and do anything for my four little monkeys, and can only hope that one day they will understand just how much they mean to me.
