Maddie is in morning preschool a few days a week, which she (and I) love. Which means the rest of the week we get to hang-out, have carpet picnics, make projects, play with play-dough, and just be together. Love the time I get to spend with just her. I got pregnant with her a little sooner than we had planned, and well....I can't say I got to sit down and just stare at her as much as I would have liked. When she came Grace was 20 months and Caleb was 3. She, of course, was loved just as much, but maybe had to wait a little longer to be picked-up or maybe even EAT!! And she slept through the night the fastest!! Shocker. So I now am so thankful I get to make-up for lost time and have her all to myself. I want to make the most of it before she starts Kindergarten in the fall. I want to look back and have such fun memories of all our crazy errands, adventures, and times at home. She came downstairs today and said "Mamma...I just found twins and they want me to be their mom!" With one stuffed in her shirt suffocating (feet hanging out), and the other being held upside-down behind her back. Clothed in a Halloween shirt that she found somewhere in her closet, a skirt from last summer, and her favorite jeans that she wears almost everyday. I think it's safe to say I am going to be one lonely mamma when she heads off to school.
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
