Love languages...

We are blessed with four incredible children. They truly are our miracle children and we will be eternally grateful for the joy they have bought into our lives. With our first we were very naïve and thought that because our children came from the same two parents and would be raised in the same environment they would all be the same. We were so wrong. We have four different children with different personalities, likes, dislikes and needs. Because they were different we had to discipline and teach them differently. They each have their own love language. Recently my daughter posted on Instagram "updates" on her children. She highlighted their differences, how much they have grown, things they are doing, phrases they had recently said, and things that she loves about them. I thought it would be fun to "update" you on our children.
