Gibson Gang: I passed the halfway mark!!!

I passed the halfway mark!!!

For anyone who is even more OCD than I am, you will know that not only have I passed the halfway mark, but I am almost to the "three-quarters of the way" mark! :)

Today is actually Day 72. Wow. I can't believe it. While I must admit that I have not made it completely 100% faithfully to my goals set at the beginning of this 100 Days journey, I am grateful for the lessons I am learning along the way.

I am learning to be aware of who I am as "the mama". I often refer to myself by that name. "The Mama". And, let me tell you: I. love. it.

I know the sun is a little weird on Samuel's face,

but I love this picture of my sweeties!

I am learning that as the mama, I have a HUUUUUGE privilege. And responsibility. I am given the privilege to shape and change someone's soul. But I have the responsibility to model for these sweet babies each and every day. The responsibility to model Who Christ is.

I am learning to enjoy each moment more and more. I am a pretty "task oriented" and "list driven" kind of person. But often in those driving moments, I miss so many quiet blessings that are not on my list, but are whirling all around me. How thankful I am for how persistent the Holy Spirit is with His work on my heart.

"Mama, let's paint our nails the same."

I am learning the dishes will wait, but my babies are one day older. Today is the youngest they will ever be again. *sob* But I have today. Today to enjoy and laugh.

Look to the left ......... look to the right

*love is all around*

We've had some exciting activities in the past couple of days... As I've already shared, these kiddos are just growin' on up... Look what they've gotten into lately:
