Mama's Lap Dogs

Joe snapped this picture of us right before bedtime. Mama had just returned from her "ever-so-fun" root canal and was exhausted. Ben and Savannah were not feeling well, and Ethan & Andrew wanted up in my lap too.



Ahhhh...I immediately felt better!



This is a daily ritual in our home: Cuddling up to a video with all of our chick-a-dees, right before bedtime. Usually, Joe holds two and I hold two--but tonight, they all wanted in Mama's lap!

I love it...favorite time 'o the day for me.

Sweet Dreams!

    My girls do that with me too and I just love it. My favorite is when my oldest starts giving me kisses. Melts my heart and makes everything right in this world!

We went with a double pasapan for them and the dog that want up in Daddy's lap. It is so adorable. Thanks for sharing... I think yall might need a bigger chair before too long to...hehehehehehe
    What a blessing! Love yah and miss yah...ALL!!!

  25. Melts your heart! Hey - sorry I haven't written lately - been crazy here too - but not as crazy as it sounds like it has been there! Pray for you and the rest of the pieces often! Merry Christmas - may you and Joe get some special Christmas time together too!

    Suz, I have been reading your blog for a while now (thank you for being such a blessing!) and I read this today and immediately thought of you and the similar experience you had with Savannah: http://lewandowski-quadruplets.blogspot.com/ You are such an encourager and I just thought I would pass on the link to you.

    Christmas blessings to you and your precious family!

    I had this post pulled up on my laptop at work during my lunch and I heard about 20 "Awwww's" in the background.
    So sweet!

    How amazing. I found your blog on Tuesday. Ever since, I have been nothing but engulfed in it. I started at the very beginning. I couldn't stop. It was like an amazing novel. Your faith, positive attitude and great motherly love are things I strive for. I am not a mom yet. Don't tell a sole, but you have given me baby fever like no other. (I started a blog a couple weeks ago, and last night I blogged about your blog, and announced that it DIDN'T give me baby-fever. I had to tell a little lie to keep the mom and MIL from getting too excited.) You are again, truly inspirational. I can't believe I read all the way to present day. I am going to go back and watch all the videos now. I didn't have a chance to watch them along the way. I hope you have an amazing and blessed Christmas with your growing little blessings.

Enjoy your little family all to soon they will be grownup and you will be holding their kids. Wishing you and your sweet family Merry Christmas a Happy New Year.

  41. Love these pics! Such precious moments! Did you ever know you could have so much love for your little ones!! Thanks for posting, I love your blog!! I sorta relate, but not really at all, just my Caleb is the same age of your babies (except I just had 1) We are expecting again though due in August!

    Darling picture! Have a great Christmas with those little sweethearts!
    Can you tell me what brand and model of safety gate you have at the top of your stairs? My sister and bil have a staircase similar to that are expecting their first this spring. They're going to be needing something like you have.

  47. I love this! That's my favorite time of day too, when my two little ones (2 and 5 years old) snuggle up in my lap. The closer they get, the better!
