Love it

I love the feeling for that split second that it happens when I feel my babies leaving my body.  It's incredible and full of emotion and happens so fast that the only time I have to think about it, is after the fact.  Heavenly Father has blessed us immensly.  Matt and I have been so completely blessed with 5 wonderful kids.  The spirit that comes when you have a baby is like no other.  They bring such a beautiful, sweet spirit that does nothing but remind you of Heavenly Father and His love for this child He has now entrusted in your care.  Being a parent is a HUGE responsibility, but knowing that Heavenly Father is right there willing/wanting to help us, makes it so much better. 
I love the look at Lucy gives to Josey.  It's like she remembers her sweet spirit, but can't tell us that she remembers this little baby from Heaven.  I love the desire Ally has to be a GREAT big sister and mommy's tremendous big helper.  I love that Ben is sincerely trying to accomodate this baby into his life, when mommy is holding her. 
Things are going to go well for us.  We have 4 kids at home that all love each other and we have 1 angel that is waiting for us, that we will all get to help raise.  How fun will that be to have all these helpers to help Matt and I raise Cosette.  Ally can often be heard telling Ben that he needs to make good choices so he can see Cosette again.  I love that Ally knows what she needs to do to be with her best friend again. 
I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for my 5 kids.  I am even more grateful to Him for the time He allowed us, to get to know Cosette.  She is an incredible little girl who obviously had more work she needed to do in Heaven and since that work is more important, she needed to get back there.  I miss that little girl more than I will ever be able to comprehend.  When I get to be re-united with her again, it will be at that moment that I will realize just how much I've missed her. 
I am thankful for Temples and that if we are married/sealed in the temple we can be with our families forever.  It doesn't end at death.  Because Matt and I chose to be married in the temple, all of our children will be with us forever.  Cosette has a free ride to the Celestial Kingdom, so now we just need to do our part as parents to help the other 4 kids learn and understand how to get there.  Ally has that desire to be with Sette again and I love that. 
Matt I love you and am so thankful for you everyday.  You work hard for our family and we are thankful for that.  Thanks for being a great husband and daddy.
