When I'm Feeling Down...

...or when things happen that I wish wouldn't...

this little guy has a way of simply making me smile.

We went to the park yesterday and I recently received some bad news. I tried not to dwell on it and put Bennett in a swing for the very first time. This is what I got...

the biggest smiles,
happy faces,

kicking legs,

and best of all, laughter,

laughter
and more laughter. Exactly what I needed.

He is LOVE.

  11. Love it - the couple of times we've been to the park, Max has slept through most of it - and then the swings were being used (by a mom who thought it was odd that my little munchkin wasn't crawling yet) (ha ha).

  13. He is darling!! When my older kids are feeling down I always have them sit and play with Sam and they seem to always leave with a smile and feeling much better about whatever happened. These kids just have a way of making you smile and feel at peace.

  16. Sorry about the bad news. Thankful for sweet giggles on the swings for the first time that take away all the cares in the world if only for a moment. Bennett & Alayna would be great buddies she loves to swing too and really enjoyed it yesterday.
    Hope today is a good day.

  22. I'm sorry to hear about the bad news and hope that everything is ok...

    ...I cried when I saw the pictures [I am just TOO emotional these days...lol] because I can just SEE the love in your little boy. I don't know how those smiles could NOT make you feel better (or at least help). He is such a handsome little boy! I can't wait to meet him! :)

  23. Isn't God amazing. The plan he had for us is always so much greater then we can ever dream of for ourselves.

    Bennett is a dream, how could his smile and laughter not be contagious.

    I'm sorry about your bad news, thank God for Bennett, for him being the rainbow during the that storm. I pray things get better for you!
