Growing Up

In the past couple of months I have seen my boys grow and change so much. My firstborn Joseph turned 5, my secondborn Samuel turned 3, got potty trained this year, and my newest little boy Jonathan has changed sooo much in the 4 months of his life so far. It's sad, it's exciting, it's hard to watch them grow, but yet extremely rewarding to watch them as they grow. I love listening to Joseph as he has been memorizing scripture lately. I love hearing Samuel as he is learning new things, and Jonathan it's amazing that each new day it seems like he is learning something new. I love the song by Plumb called In my Arms.... here are the lyrics and today.... i'm just thankful that God chose to let me protect them for a while... but know ultimately we are all under his protection.. our heavenly father...

I'm going to steal an idea from a fellow blogging friend and post pictures of my kids at various stages of life.... but as you read and listen to the words of the song... it's just heartwarming!

Here is the youtube link to the video if you want to hear it.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4eLU3wPHdU&annotation_id=annotation_222888&feature=iv

In my arms

Your baby blues
So full of wonder
Your Curly Que’s
Your contagious smile
And as I watch
You start to grow up
All I can do is hold you tight
Knowing

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Story books
Are full of fairy-tales
Of kings and queens
And the bluest skies
My heart is torn just in knowing
You’ll someday see
The truth for lies

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble
Dreams may not come true
Cause you are never all alone
Cause I will always
Always love you

Clouds will rage in
Storms will race in
But you will be safe in my arms
Rains will pour down
Waves will crash all around
But you will be safe in my arms

In my arms
In my arms
