This year i am feeling incredibly blessed. i have so much in my heart that i am thankful for, but lack of sleep is leaving me at a loss for words. Thank goodness I already wrote my cards! So, I'll just say this: I love/appreciate/admire my mothers more than words can say, and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mama these girls. It's not always easy, or pretty, or fun, but it is the best job in the whole wide world. a true gift from God.

Grandma is so glad you are Mama to those three girls too! What adorable pictures! They are so precious. I couldn't be more blessed and thankful to God to have you as a daughter in law, Meghan ( I have written my card as well :) but I too am sleep deprived (hot flashes :) so lack of sleep is leaving me at a loss for words as well :) I love you!!!
the pics are precious! I agree being a mother is a gift from God, not always easy but the best. It's kinda fun that we can now reminisce and laugh about past experiences, and see them unfold now, too. Life changes but some things never do!! What fun it must have been to have Finley honor you on your special day. She has the ability to make the ordinary seem extraordinary!! I am sure she told you a million times "happy mother's day!" in her so sweet little voice. And Adalaide walking is a gift in itself, how cute, more videos please. The girls are amazing and you are too. Your family is very blessed to have you.
Brian and I have been happily married for 3+ years and we have two sweet daughters, Finley & Adalaide. Brian owns a remodeling company, which keeps him VERY busy, but he absolutely loves it. I thoroughly enjoy spending my days with our girls. We created this blog so that family and friends can stay updated on the latest happenings in our life.
