Little Things
Hayden,
I love holding your hand.
I love it when you ask to sit in my lap.
I love how you wrap your arms around your baby sister.
I love the way you smile when you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
I love it when you run up to me and hug my leg after I’ve been away from home.
I love how you come into my room every evening to say “good night.”
I love the way you say “I love you,” and it sounds like “I lub you.”
I love the way you say “Thank you, Bef.”
I love you.
Ruth,
I love it when you wrap your fingers around mine.
I love the way you laugh when I tickle your stomach.
I love seeing you hold out your arms for me to pick you up.
I love watching you learn to walk, and holding your hands and walking with you.
I love the way you hug your blanket when you fall asleep.
I love it when you lay your head on my shoulder.
I love dressing you up in adorable clothes.
I love showing you off to all my friends.
I love your beautiful smile.
I love you.
Aw. I feel the same way when my little brother, Soren (who is two) does the exact same thing. Oh, especially when he says “I luff joo, Anna” and it’s just so adorable. They’re only that age once, and then never again, so enjoy it while you still can!
Hope you’re well, Beth! Would you mind if I put you on my blog roll? It’ll be easier to get to your blog, thataway. *slight grin*

Aw Beth! I think you are getting very attached. I was just thinking about how much I enjoyed holding “Ruth” on my last visit. I am so proud of y’all for fostering! You are such a blessing to those precious ones.
I lub you too Beff
This post makes me happy. I knew God had awesome plans for your family through foster care, and it makes me SO happy that it’s working out so well!! It’s true, you’re helping them more than they’ll ever know… but I know God is using those awesome little kids to teach you and grow you as well… I simply can’t WAIT to meet them.
