(My kids are obsessed with taking pictures with the timer on the camera...they love
the bright flash going off over + over + over. I wonder if I should be worried!?!?!)
Sometimes life seems unfair or just too hard…for some reason I’ve been letting myself feel this way. My life is not that bad. Sure, I’ve been struggling + stressed with some things, but really that’s just a part of life…right? I think of all the families suffering in Haiti and my trials pale in comparison to what they are going through. I really do have so much to be thankful for. I’ve had a lot of time with just me + my kids lately (with Andy traveling so much). It’s made me realize that all I really need is what’s right in front of me. That my little family makes me happy + no matter what challenges lie ahead of me, I have them + I know they love me. And really, what more could I want?
Loving this quote, it's such a good reminder:
” Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these little ones.
Now, love them, take care of them…welcome them into your homes and nurture and love them with all of your hearts.”
-Gordon B. Hinckley-

I just can’t get enough of my little man lately…he really melts my heart.
Not sure if it’s his good looks, his style, his killer personality, his big brown eyes, his sense of humor or the way he tells me NO when I ask him if he’ll always be my sweet baby boy.
Your babies are getting so grown up. It all goes by so quickly and then we have those days that never seem to end….. Oh the balance of it all- life’s great quest! It’s rough when Daddy is gone so much, even harder on the little ones that don’t understand when he is coming or going. I keep telling myself, be grateful we have a job, over and over. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not.
He melts my heart.
