Family of Four

My favorite moments as a family of four:
First thing in the morning - Through my sleepy eyes Chapel smiles so brightly as soon as she sees me. We play the smile game for what seems like forever before we start our day. Asher is so sweet and happy too first thing in the morning as he asks permision to get out of bed. With Froogy in hand he slowly starts his day.
On our way home from school - I look back and realize there are 2 car seats back there. Both Chapel and Asher are usually quite. Asher watches the world go by our car window and occasionally comments on things he sees. "What did you do at school today" is one of my favorite questions. I am so eager to hear his perspective on the day.
Sitting on the couch - Actually Jeramie and I sit on the couch, Chapel is usually in my arms or nursing and Asher is climbing all over us. He is usually without pants. There is plenty of time for pants, I guess.
Bath time - Although it comes at the most tiresome, exhausting time of the day. The baby shampoo has the most delicious aroma. The giggles and splashes from Jeramie and Asher are the sweetest sound my ears get the privilage of listening to. Their soft skin and hair, and their tiny fingers and toes leave a lasting memory to your senses. This is the time of day I want to be the sponge and soak it all in to never forget.
Bed time kisses - She can barely make it to bed before she is falling asleep in my arms. She is so warm and snuggly. I hate putting her down for bed. The kisses flow from my lips to her head and cheeks I just can't stop them. Asher might be wiggly during his story and I might have to tell him 5 times to settle in bed and get comfy but when it is time to say goodnight we steal each others kisses and I never mind him getting to sleep too late as I don't want the kisses to ever stop.
Relaxing with Jeramie - Once all is quiet Jeramie and I get time to ourselves to cuddle in from of the tv. As tired as I am and as much as I know we both need to go to bed I want to sit with him for hours more.
