I realized my posts have taken a slightly negative/cynical tone lately. Just for the record, as bad as my last post seemed, I actually consider that day a huge success because I handled it amazingly well. I just thought I'd take a moment to remind myself that there are good days and not matter what--I love and adore my family.
Yesterday was a good day. James played quietly making bead / pipe cleaner caterpillars all morning long. Even Kate and Clara tried their hand at beading. It was so sweet to see their tenacity as they tried and tried and tried to get those beads on!
When Justin had to go back to work after lunch James was so sweet. He said, "Don't go back to work daddy. Stay home. I like you. " This morning Kate and Clara gave so much love to Andrew. They greeted him with a serenade of bonks on the head with their balloons. And bless his soul, he slept right through it. It'll only be a few more years that my kids think, as my sister Jeny once said, "that I'm the Sun, the Moon, & the Stars." This year may be very trying, but I know we'll have lots of wonderful moments to fill in the gaps. I am a very blessed woman.

hahaaha! I didn't think you were sounding all bad...just that you are in a crazy state of being right now.:) and that is OK!! :)
You know, I wasn't such a fan of this pic until I realized that its a candid one where you're hold a baby, reading the coupon section of the newspaper and ignoring the mess behind you. Then I realized it's PERFECT!! :D
It's always so good to take a moment and relize all the blessings--who would've known! I think you are wonderful!!
