My Heart Belongs to 5 Boys…
LOVE these little expressions…
Sweet faces that belong to 5 sweet boys. So many men in my life…
Quick Story from My Day:
I took one little man named Henry on a date with me tonight to the library and the grocery store. I cherish the one on one time. It was Henry’s first time to the library and he was fascinated with the copy machine. Truly fascinated! And when Henry is fascinated with something he stands frozen, expressionless, and takes it all in with silent enjoyment. Later on, after it’s completely over, he responds with a thrilled "Wow!" or "Whoa!". The guy copying his textbook had never felt so compelling. Even the librarian took notice of Henry in pure wonderment. I thought about responding with a "We don’t get out much", but I refrained. I was busy watching the world through a little boy’s crystal blue eyes.
I don’t think I’ve ever commented, but those pictures are priceless. I can’t unfortunately tell which boy is which, but I love the expression of the little guy sitting on Brad’s right, with his huge, excited grin.
You guys have four very precious boys.
And not to mention four very cute boys! I just loved the story of Henry. Too cute.

Simply sweet!
Those pictures are priceless!
Your blog always leaves me with warm fuzzies at how much you two love your boys. It’s truly a blessing to read about and see pictures of.
I love this age when the world is so new to them….and you do have some sweet little boys there!
Jen,
I also love 5 boys…and possibly the 6th on the way, lol!!
I am a firm believer in ‘Tuesday’s Child’…I try to spend some alone time with each one of my now 5 children, 6th on the way, once a week. They each have a day that is designated for them and we have a ‘date’. It could be out for ice cream or just snuggled in bed reading a book with the door closed for privacy. I haven’t kept up with it as much lately due to the nausea in my 1st trimester, but when I do, all I get are rewards from our time together.
God bless you,

Awesome photos and capture, Jen! I can just picture Henry too…gosh, your post is just a reminder of something that is CONSTANTLY on my mind lately…how precious every moment is and how I don’t want to miss a thing!
And what a handsome, charming, loveable, squeezeable bunch of 5 they are!
Love ya!

I love that you caught each of their unique expressions.
The story with Henry just makes me smile. I can totally see him doing that. I need some of that wonder and awe in my own life…
I’m in the nursery this Sunday and looking forward to seeing 4 boys then! 🙂
Prayers are with you all today as well!
Beautiful photos of all your mens. I love it! And seriously, what a fun date idea! Missing you, sweet Jen the Hen! Lots of love, Mari
Glad Henry had some mommy time! As for the picture, love it!!! You have FIVE AMAZING GUYS!!!

So so cute! Daddy is going to need a bigger chair!
i think its special 2 have one on one time.. so im glad u get that. I even w/ just 2 boys enjoy 1 on 1 time… it is almost like they can express to me things better alone.. than together.. its weird but u see a different side of the child when they are separated from their siblings.. its special 🙂
but at the same time i love them together 😀 most times!
Hi Jen-
Kiddos=adorable!! Just read through your WHOLe blog again.. cause I love it so much! Are you and the “quad-sistas” doing a trip again soon??
That is the sweetest story about Henry and I understand it completely. Even though all of my kids aren’t the same age, I do try so hard to make individual time for all nine of them and cherish every second.
Those pictures are just beautiful!
