I am so grateful for my sweet boys.
We've been having some health issues with little Parker and last week he had to go get his blood drawn. They took 3 huge vials from his tiny little body. The whole time, he was so sweet, like a lamb to the slaughter. He just sat on my lap as huge crocodiles tears ran down his cheeks--it hurt a bit, but more than anything, I think he was scared. After drawing his blood, we headed to Target to get a toy for him. When were were almost finished he turned to me and said, “But mom, we have to get something for Jace. If we don’t he will be so sad.”
Later that day we were at a friends house and Parker just broke down crying on the ground. He wouldn’t let me comfort him, so he just kept crying. James went over and pat his back, then laid next to him and put his arm around his neck. When he still didn’t stop, he practically laid on top of him just trying to hug him tight enough so he would stop crying. It was so tender; I wish I had my camera.
And Jace is such a sweet big brother to both. Always showing so much kindness and care for them; like a little dad. He loves them so much and their worlds revolve around him.
Sometimes the days are long and rough, but I am so blessed to have 3 such great boys. I love them more than I could have ever imagined possible and love to see them love each other.

All of those stories are so sweet! I love that little James is showing his love even though he can't yet verbalize it. And speaking of verbalizing, I'm impressed with the ability of Parker to put together such a thorough sentence! Gretta gets her point across, but there's always a lot of filler nonsense where she knows there should be words, but doesn't know what they are.
Keep up the good mommy work!
That post gives me hope for the future! Thanks for sharing!
So sweet! Poor little Parks! I hope everything is ok.
I love little boys. You really are so blessed! I hope Parker starts to feel better soon and hope you let us know when you get some answers.
I love that. I hope Parker is doing better. There is absolutely nothing worse then having your kids suffer. I hope everyting works out.
You do have such sweet boys - I loved reading that story (and all the others) Sorry Parker is not feeling well. I hope it doesn't last too long.
Your boys are so good to each other. I guess you can add me to the "just in case something happens to you" list! Keep me posted on Parker's results.

Poor little Parker!! I hope he feels better soon, and everything is OK. it is scary when they are to start taking test, blood work etc.
These are the cutest little stories. You do have sweet boys. This is a big reflection as you as a mother and Mike a father. You guys are so great and so self-less yourselves. What sweet memories, I bet you were thrilled and touched by hearing that from him.
