Just an evening at home

Chris had to work late, so some screen time seemed like a good idea. 


They were sweet. Playing alone, then checking out each other's screens...then this happened. 


Sweet boys!!  Needed to be near me! Melt my heart!

It was a rough day. Lots of time outs for both boys. Food thrown on the floor and over all very frustrating for me as the mommy trying to wrangle these two wild boys. 

But then Jesse lays his head on my shoulder wraps his arm around my neck and kisses me night night.  

And my big boy. We whispered the Lord's Prayer tonight together. Then we talked about earth and heaven. My boy is worried about dying and asked Jesus if we could live forever on earth and never die. He clasp his hands together to show me how he wanted us to be together. I moved the conversation away from the topic of death and we continued the nightly ritual.  Until he reached up and touched my face. Owen looked into my eyes and touched my face the way my mom used to. The way I have always traced my baby's eyebrows, to their noses and around their mouths and ears. He knows it's a special thing of love and as he touched my face he told me:  I am the best mommy ever because I work real hard to take care of everything for him. 

Oh Owen you will never know how much those words mean to me. How you make this life so good!
