SO much LOVE!!!

This past weekend, we made our very first trip to Dallas since Jonah was born. We only stayed for one night but it was really fun. A little nerve wracking for me though because I never packed up Jonah's things for an overnight visit...so of course I was worried about forgetting this or not having that. But it all worked out fine. My mom's house was equipped for everything we needed...including plenty of love!!!

That was probably one of the greatest parts of visiting. With my mom, my sister, and my best friend, Jonah was engulfed with attention. And then at my cousin's little boy's 1st birthday party, there was even more love to be shared!!!

Even though we're miles away from family and can't see them on a daily basis, I know Jonah will grow up knowing how special he is and how special family is. I sometimes worry about Jonah being an only child...growing up lonely, having noone to call his own if something happened to me or his daddy. But I am assured in my heart that he will always be taken care of even if we aren't around.

So the time we do get to spend together with family is awesome. And I know it will only get better with the years to come because I see how our beautiful children bind us together closer than ever!
