we are headed to the pumpkin patch tonight…
this time of year always makes me reflect back on how we became a family and the miracle we are all together. the signs of fall remind me of when we:
got some exciting phone calls
had many sleepless nights
drove many miles
shed lots of tears
felt more joy than we felt our hearts could take
received so much love and support from so many
went to our first ultrasound
spent lots of time on our knees
met loved ones we knew – but had never met
truly felt the Lord’s hand in our lives
held our babies and became a family.
both my kiddo’s birthdays are fast approaching (i’m going to have a FIVE year old and a TWO year old soon). for some reason I’m feeling kind of sad about this. feeling like my kids are really kids now…not babies. i’m trying to enjoy every moment with them, but apart of me aches for them to stay small.
Amanda, I love my camera strap. I took my camera to Ohio when we went to visit Andy and Shay. Several people asked me where I got it from. It was fun to tell them my friend Amanda started her own company and sells them.
The pictures of the kids are cute. They do grow up much too fast. People used to tell me about the terrible two’s, but I never had an age I didn’t love and enjoy my children. Being a mom is the BEST!
Thanks KayLee…I’m glad you are enjoying your ShabbyStrap:) And you are completely right…being a mom is the BEST! You have been such a wonderful example of mothering to me.
I remember a few of those things myself.
Saturday was a blast… thanks!
I’m crying right now after reading that post! We love little Abby + Bubba + all the people you met along the way!! {really, like ugly crying!}
You are sooooo pregnant!!! Love you.
