It's gonna be OK...

Some days, even for just a few minutes, I get to set aside the craziness of life with 5 kids literally running in 5 different directions, and just savor those sweet moments when all is calm, all is peaceful, and the love and brotherhood of my boys is cemented even further in stone. 

Watching John Michael (3 1/2) and Luke (14 mos.) have a conversation--where few words are actually exchanged--is priceless.

Finally, John Michael turns to give me that sweet, affirmative smile, full of wisdom that, at least for now, all is OK.  And I get to peek into the future of my sweet boys sharing and caring for one another.  It's just enough to refresh my soul and remind me that this frantic phase we're in, too, shall pass.  And I will look back at these photos with a mother's heart and remember only the good times...
