August Amari: Trip to Utah

Daddy and Amari went to Utah for Jeff's wedding. Beck's and I were not able to go to do finances but I am so happy each boy got some one on one time with their parents. Beckahm missed Amari terribly.

It was so precious to witness how sad he was to see his baby brother go. Even though he doesn't play with him and he is always fighting with his brother, when it was time to take them to the airport he got really sad and nervous. He kept asking me if "baby Mari and Daddy were going to come back?" Some of the other cute things he said that day: "I am going to give baby Mari kisses all over his face." "I don't want to miss my baby brother." "I miss Daddy and Mari!" After we said our goodbyes at the airport he started to cry and said "mom, I miss Amari!" My heart melted. I have been WAITING for some loving feeling towards his brother to resonate with him and today I got to see it in full force. I told him it was good to miss someone and it was okay to feel sad, it just proves to us that we love someone very much. I told him I wanted him to feel whatever he was feeling—that it was important—and to also realize that Amari and Daddy would be back in a few days and that this was a great time for him and I to connect and do lots of fun things.

I am so happy that Amari got to see my sister Michelle, his cousin Jaxen, and be seen/checked by his Uncle Jared. It brought tears to my eyes to see these pictures my sister took and sent me. I miss family! I wish I could have been there to spend some quality time with them!

Amari's adventures in Utah! I am so happy he was able to bond with his Daddy and see all of his extended family! What a good boy he was on the flight for Daddy, and what a great job he did adapting to his new surroundings.

It brought tears to my eyes to see Amari finally meet my sister and her family! They loved him! Uncle Jared was also able to do a wellness checkup on him and everything looked fantastic; he was as healthy as could be!!

The most adorable reunion EVER! Amari wanted nothing to do with me, he only wanted his brother (crawling out of my arms to try and jump through Beckahm's window to see him). Beckahm was SO happy to see his baby brother! Sweetest moment of my motherhood by far!
