The other day I was thinking about whether or not our family was done and how I felt about that. As I pictured it just being Jared and Aaron getting older, it suprised me that the emotion that followed was loneliness. It felt incomplete I guess, but that really wasn't the word for it. I've been trying to figure out why it would make me feel lonely. I haven't come up with much, but I thought of other families that I know with only two children and even those with lots (4+) of children. Every family's needs are different.
I was going to type this post, but the boys came in and were talking to me. So, I shared this experience with Jared. At first I asked him if he ever felt lonely and he responded that he does when he wants to be with me. I've asked him before how he felt about having another sibling, and he told me was kind of bored with just having Aaron. He'd really like to have a little sister. So, I told him that I think the only way that is going to happen is if he pray for her and make her feel so wanted that she can't help but want to come and be part of our family. He said ok, but by tonight I think he forgot because it wasn't mentioned in his prayer (not really surprised hehe)
