Simple Blessings

Porter is being baptised this weekend. My great-grandpa Penn would say that he officially becomes Porter on Sunday; he will become the newest member of First Lutheran. Eric and I jokingly say that he is getting the Devil kicked, or in this case, washed out of him. Our little boy is getting the ultimate blessing. Ironic, when he has blessed us in so many ways.

• Smiles in the early hours of the morning that reminds us why we are getting up before the alarm.
• Snuggles when both Porter and Mommy need them.
• Spending all day in comfy clothes because we don't have anywhere to go but stay in our warm home.
• Enjoying the quiet of the Christmas tree in the middle of the night- because of a hungry baby.
• Reading classic children's books- again.
• Excited relatives so happy that you braved the cold and snow to come to the holiday party- and brought the baby!
• Enjoying each and every minute with our sweet boy.
• A heart so filled with love that it is difficult to swallow at times.
