Linus always wants to help. On the day Mommy decided to make homemade soap, Linus was there to help grate the soap into the bucket. On the day we visited Andy's Market, he was there to make sure we chose the best fruit. Unfortunately, his help isn't always truly helpful. But the fact he wants to help is the best!!!
He loves to play and read!!! And he does both all day long, morning until night, with no let up. He's on the go at turbo speed. And though some days it can wear you out quick, I wouldn't have it any other way. His excitement and imagination in playing with all his toys makes life much more exciting and fun for us. And the fact that we can sit down and read him 15 books in a row is beyond wonderful. Fun is such an appropriate adjective for our life with Linus.
Beautiful is another great way to describe this life. God hands us things all the time, sometimes we are ready for them and sometimes we aren't. Either way, it is how we care for what he has given us that counts. Was I ready for life with Linus? As much as I would like to say yes, I think I really was never going to be ready for what this little Bug brought to my life and still brings to my life everyday. However, would I wish it to be any different. NO!!! This life is so beautiful now. This life is so much more important than anything else. And without Linus, I don't know how I ever say beauty in things or how I ever found joy. He is truly such a blessing!!! We love you Linus Henry!!!
