Yup, that warms my heart too. Here is what else does:
When the older kids hold the baby/youngest. When the older ones read stories to the youngest. When I see my husband cuddling with the kids, it is so attractive to me I can't stand it. When one of my boys cooks for the little ones. Having all the kids gathered into the living room in the evening, just talking and having a good time...seeing pictures of Dennis and Alex, and how much your other kids love them.
what warms my heart....When Benjamin comes to me and holds my leg when I am standing up. he just wants to be close but doesnt want to be held, just looking to make sure mama is still there. And watching Sophie get so excited over having SHOES of her very own. And thinking about Natasha and Illiana and the looks on their faces when/if we come back for them. When Maia tells me she loves me more than all the shiny things in the world. When Ethan calms enough to play happily with his sibs without blowing up. When Chrysta hugs me when I am stressing about chores. When Cody makes me laugh.

Reading stories to my kids & talking with them :)
A childs simple smile or anyone now that I think about it.
I always enjoy seeing my kids like that as well. What warms my heart besides that, when my older two boys give me a hug or snuggle with me.
nice mom from rachel
Precious. One of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child, a sibling....a friend for life. The love your family shares is truly inspiring.
I'm with you Christine...those moments where you can SEE that they TRULY love one another...PRICELESS! They FULLY OUT WEIGH the skirmishes and fights!
