My world

Mother
All the time I feel caught up in the day to day activities (i.e. laundry, cleaning the house, shopping, dishes, etc.) that I don't take the time to fully appreciate all of my blessings. Every few days something strikes me: something that happens every day, multiple times an hour. I take this thing for granted and sometimes don't notice the importance of hearing it. What is it? My son will say "mommy". That is it. And I stop and think, "I am a mother." I am a mom. What better thing in the world could I possibly want to be? Or spend all my day doing? I am not the best at it; being a mother has taught me how truly impatient I am. It takes a lot out of me. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am lucky to have a husband with me to parent our two children. I am so blessed that God has allowed me to welcome these children into the world. Two kids is a good number for us. Maybe three someday. Maybe. Maybe not.

Yeah, I thought I was a patient person too until I became pregnant with children. Norah must eat close to the same things I eat 'cause that is about how I look in a diaper.
yea, we are super lucky to have kids. i remember that most when they are in bed at night. you've sure got some cute ones! oh- and i am positive miles didn't get sick from your kids, he was sick and then got better and then we walked to the library in the cold and he got worse again- so totally my fault! i feel bad..
I cannot believe she is so stinkin cute and chunky!!
today I taught in Young women's the lesson was on the Divine Nature of Womenhood. It talked about being a mother and a wife. I read part of this blog with them. Thanks for sharing your testimony with my YW. I really am happy to be a mother and love when I get home from work and Jacob says "hi, Mom" in his sweet little welcoming voice.
