Angels and Angel Smiles

Anyone who has had children or been around babies especially knows that they "sleep smile" a lot and they often stare at nothing and have a huge grin on their face. All of this before they are intentionally smiling. Anyway, I have always loved when my babies did these little grins and have come to the conclusion that the veil is still so thin for them that they are likely smiling at the Angels they can see that I can not. I don't know if this is really what they are grinning at, but I like to think that they are seeing how they are so fresh from our Father in Heaven.

Along those same Angelic lines, there comes the sweetness of children when they are sleeping. I often spy/peek on my kids while they are sleeping and stand over them in awe at how much the Lord must trust me to have them in my home. They are so sweet, so precious.

We had our primary program on Sunday and the kids did so great! They memorized their parts and did them perfectly. Even though the practice on Saturday didn't look so promising: Hunter was on the stand doing armpit farts, and Gwennie was playing with her friends on the benches. It was chaos, but it came together nicely. They really are angels.

And then when they are sick it's hard to watch their little bodies suffer through it. I burned Gwendalin with the curling iron this morning and felt horribly about it...she went to preschool with an ice cube in a ziplock to help the burn. And Tyler has been puking since last night (Hunter had the same thing a few days back)- the little dude is just so tired and delirious.

In spite of it all, I wouldn't trade one minute. They are such angels and they are so darling!
