It's a wonderful thing

...being a Mother. Your kids look up to you, they depend on you for everything, they call your name when they want to show you something, they run to you for kisses and hugs when they get hurt, and they love you, unconditionally. Yesterday, Tenley slept almost all day which meant she didn't fall asleep for the night until midnight. I laid next to her and listened to her coo at me and smile. A few times it looked and sounded like she wanted to giggle. It was so precious watching her look up at me, knowing that I am her mother. We are so lucky!
Every night when we tuck the kids in Esmie always wants us to "close her eyes" for her. Now she's adding in a few more favors like rubbing her back or giving her extra kisses. We will be almost out the door and, "Mommy wait, Daddy wait, you give me more kisses, you close my eyes for me?" :) She just may be trying to stall going to bed but how can you say no to that? I could go on and on about how wonderful it is and how lucky I am to be a Mom. Watching my kids grow is an amazing thing. They seriously amaze me every day!

Just what's on my mind today. Have a good day!!

IM BACK!!!

Hello again blogging friends!

Hello from North Dakota, that is. I just got done typing a huge long entry, updating you on our life and it was deleted somehow. I am kind of annoyed. But the kids are bugging for dinner so I will have to come back on here another day and rewrite it. For now I will you with a picture of our newest addition, Tenley Kay. Born 11-23 weighing in at 7lbs 9oz and 20in long.
