2 months already...

Time is flying by with Eloise. It's hard to believe that she's already 2 months. She is such a joy to us. Lately, I have really been thinking about how wonderful it is to be a mom of these two cuties. Graham keeps me laughing and on my toes for sure, while Eloise's smiles and coos warm my heart. If I love my kids this much, I just think about how much our heavenly Father loves us. I am so thankful that he has entrusted us to steward Graham and Eloise. The song "How He Loves" really sums it up so well.

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us so

He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.


We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way

And oh, how He loves us
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us so


Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
