Feeling Blessed

As I lay each child in bed tonight, I had an overwhelming feeling of love come upon me.  Heavenly Father loves me so much.  He has blessed me with four beautiful, kind, loving children.  He has entrusted to me four wonderful kids.
I tucked Maile in, gave her a kiss, and told her I loved her.  I thanked her for the pretty box she drew on for me today.  She loves me so much she even tied ribbons on it.  I thanked her for obeying quickly today.  She smiled ear to ear.
I then went into Kiana's room.  I followed the same pattern of giving her a kiss and told her I loved her.  She told me how excited she is to read some new books I bought for her at Costco.  She wants to read them to her sister.  She picked out a purple book about fairies sleeping over.  I looked at her.  She is so beautiful.  She is such a good example for her sister and brothers.  She loves to read to them and is the best tickler to the boys!
I had already tucked Jonas in, but I wanted to see him on more time.  I went in and told him I loved him.  "You too!" He said.  He smiled big and said, "non non mom", translated night night, and blew me a kiss.  The he picked up his Ernie doll and said, "yeddo", and pointed to a stripe of his favorite color yellow!  He is the sweetest boy and he has the funniest facial expressions.
Then I held my beautiful baby boy Elijah, as I nursed him to sleep.  I just had to sit and stare at him for a minute.  He is growing way too fast, I feel like I am missing it.  I didn't want to put him in his bed.  He is laughing these big belly laughs.  He is a perfect baby, never crying and always so happy to see me.  I love his big smile.
And as I sit here, listening to my husband softly snoring away, I feel so blessed.  My family is not perfect.  We, like everyone, have problems, but I know Heavenly Father loves me.  He gave me such sweet, loving kids.  They are beautiful, and happy, and healthy, and He gave me a glimpse of heaven tonight as I watched them sleep. 
Every night I quickly rush through our night time routine.  Potty, teeth, jammies, scriptures, prayers, bed.  I never take the time to enjoy.  It was nice to chill, to talk to each child, and feel love!  I needed to be reminded of this.
