Kids

I knew having kids would change our lives, but I never knew to what extent. Our three wee ones are three of the best children anyone could ever meet. Full of joy, compassion, laughter, and love. And on the other hand we have some tears, bossiness, sometimes inappropriate (we have two boys who love bodily functions), and quite a bit of sibling rivalry. 
It took me longer than my husband, to fit naturally into parenthood. I felt like my life and independence were over. I had known it would take me a while since being a mother wasn't on my radar like most other girls. I am glad to a certain extent that it was that way. 
I was a skeptic about me being a 'good mom'. I thought I would do it all wrong and not be as good and loving as other people I knew. I admit, I still am not super mom that has scrapbooked every milestone or first day of school. But, I am there for my children in other ways. I am the one who is always willing to drop life completely if they are sad or mad or want someone to join in their excitement and joy about something. 
They have given me something to look forward to each and every day. I am blessed because of that. I used to just be a bump on a log a lot of days. Staying in bed till after 10am, staying in pjs, and living off of coffee. Well, I still have those days, but they are more of a treat now. More of a thank you from my husband. But now, I have purpose. And the more we grow as a family, the more my life feels complete. 

The wee ones being silly like usual. 

Thank you God, for giving me three little ones who have completely changed my life for the good! (Only He knows how much I needed this change.)
