Motherhood...

Motherhood? What does that mean? I can honestly say that 11 years ago, I never thought that I would be writing a blog about my children. Don't get me wrong, I wanted it. Just never imagined that it would really happen. But here I am. And oh how I love it! I may get frustrated and overwhelmed but I can't imagine a day without my wonderful husband and children. I look at my family and feel so lucky to have them. When Judd comes up and just gives me a hug and tells me he loves me. When Wyatt puckers his lips for a kiss or when he says 'hello'. I really have to get that on tape. He sounds so sweet. When Wyatt fights so hard to not fall asleep. He will kick my legs and keep talking. When Judd asks for his 2nd glass of milk before he falls asleep. When Jim comes up behinds me and gives me a kiss. Or when we all sit down to dinner together. I'm in awe that they are mine. Forever. As the years go by so quickly, I want to stop time and keep them the way they are. But I can't. The only thing I can do is watch them and teach them to grow. Like my mother did. I only hope that I can do as well as she did. I'm so blessed to have them. I don't know if I thank God enough. Thank you Lord, for these precious children that you gave to me. To raise and love. I only hope that I'm raising them how you want me to. Thank you for the wonderful life you have given to me. For it is something that I will treasure forever.
