Blessed...

A mother holds her children's hands for a while, 

their hearts forever.

Yesterday was a truly great day for me as a woman. Being a momma, now for two little people, is a dream come true.  What a great gift from my God ,not to mention a great task, I get to raise and train these two precious people.   One moment I want to pull my hair out and then the next I just want to push pause to capture the moment.  The ups and downs of parenthood is a great ride that I would not trade for anything in the world.  In the past three years, I have learned a lot... I can tell you the line up on Nick, Disney, or PBS, I have memorized the words to countless songs and children's books, I now say "I have to go potty", that it is now okay to sit "criss-cross applesauce" at the table, that a staircase can be a pirate ship... a stage... or a zoo.  All little special moments that only a parent can understand as special.  Even though I do not get as much me time... Kyle and I do not "dine" as much.... Kyle and I will go to the store at 9pm to avoid taking a preschooler...movie time has been pushed aside for an earlier bed time... I would not trade my two miracles for anything in the world.   So yesterday as I was "celebrated" for Mother's Day, I really do appreciate and understand the blessed gifts my God has given me.  

And where would I be without my mommy... our LiLi!  She gave up so much to raised me and has taught me so much in thirty years about being a mother.  She loves me so much and continues to share that love with my children.  Thanks for everything you do for us.
