Perspective.

Today I came across this sweet blog post, 

Just For the Record: Perspective

And I absolutely couldn't get it out of my head.

As I read it (sobbing) I related to her "old" perspective.

I felt her heart ache and I felt inspired by her story.

I wish I could just tape her story on all my walls and windows. 

I definitely needed it today.

Her perspective encouraged me to change my perspective.

I am completely blessed to be surrounded by my kids laughter each day.  

I get to be home with them.

Watch them learn and grow.

I get to serve them by making them snacks, reading them books, cleaning their messes.

I want to never to it for granted. 

And reading this story this morning made me have a beautiful day with my children.  

I hugged them tightly made sure I was present.

Paid attention to their smiles and stories.

I loved them a little stronger today.

So I thought I would pass it on.

My world and my love.  I am so grateful to be your Mom!!

Introducing....

Baby #3

I got to meet our "little kidney bean" sized person yesterday for the first time.  It is just an amazing experience to see the little person on the screen and hear its strong little heart beat.  It just made it so real for me.  And I got really excited to meet this little him/her.

I am only about 9 weeks along...so we still have a long time before that will actually happen.  We are expecting that to be some time near the end of November.

So far being pregnant is not so fun.  Lots of tiredness and nausea and mood swings.  My poor kids and my poor husband all probably agree we are ready for the next stage and to be through all the yuckiness.  But I still have to push through a few more weeks.

I still can't believe we are on to baby number 3.  I am a little nervous for this one.  I really didn't feel this way for the second.  Having two wasn't too big of an adjustment for me. I think I handled it pretty well.  I have two hands and enough for two in my lap. With three I may be out numbered.

Despite the nervousness, I am excited to expand our family and add another little person to chase after and love oh so much. I know I felt that love yesterday as I heard that heart beat.  I may be in a little over my head, but I know for sure there is more love to give.  So here we go....

Easter Bunnies

Easter Morning...two little Easter bunnies all ready for church.  I love that my little girl is such a girly girl.  She just loved her dress.  She twirled in it and loved that it was "pink". She wore it all day.  She was adorable.  And T is really into wearing ties.  So he can be just like Daddy.

The "Easter Bunny" did make a stop at our house.  He brought gifts of hot wheels, my little pony's and candy.  The kids were very excited.
