Wow! Where did my January go to? Already the dreaded holiday is coming up. I guess it is better to get it over with and move on right? I have reflected a lot lately on family. I am so glad I was raised up knowing I am loved. My parents didn't have to give me everything to show me they loved me. Instead they did things with me to show their love. I enjoyed all the camping trips and the reunions, being with cousins and other relatives. I have had a wonderful life thus far and continue to be grateful for life. I love my kids and watching them all grow in their own ways. Each of them having their own talents and interests. I love my husband for the things he does with the kids to teach them. All in all I am grateful for everything I have. I just need to thank my Heavenly Father more for it.
I Had pictures taken before Christmas with good intentions to have them framed and hung up in the house. Well February is now half over and here sits the pictures not developed once again. I think I am the mother of the year. I love my kids and the adventures we go on every day. I can't say that every day is just picture perfect but it is what it is. It is hard to believe that my Brendan will soon be getting ready for Kindergarten, Malaree will be baptized, and my Taylee well she is finally mobile and doesn't want anyone getting in her way. They grow up way too fast. I love them to pieces and hopefully they realize this.
