Wow, I'm really bad at this blogging thing. Just seems life gets too busy sometimes. But I am still alive and really loving life for the most part. My boys are growing so fast and little Emmalyn is already 4 1/2 months old. I can't believe I just turned 31 and am a REAL MOM.
It's crazy sometimes and I just want to pinch myself. Odd how I'm living the life I always dreamed of--Married to a wonderful man and Mommy of little ones--but I rarely take the time to appreciate it. I just hope nothing gets taken from me any time soon, but if it does, I know I'll find a way to carry on. (Cami, didn't you write a song about that? Do you even read my blog?)
Sometimes I lie in bed at night and look at Daniel and the thought of ever loosing him actually takes my breath away in one big choke. And then I cry silent tears of love for the man who knows all my weaknesses and imperfections and loves me and stands by me anyway. A man who carries WAY more than his weight around the house and who is so good with my children. And, even though he's not perfect, he's perfect for me.
And then there's my little ones. Seth with his sweet sensitivity to things of the spirit and his desire to be good. Talmage with his darling little facial expressions and the way he wiggles into my arms to be held, even if I'm on the computer or reading or holding the baby. And then there's Emmalyn, my little longed for girl who is so happy most of the time and loves to giggle at her brothers. And to top it all off, my husband has a great job that pays well, we have a house that more than fits our needs, and we all have general good health (not counting all the little illnesses of the recent months). I really couldn't ask for anything more these days. (Well, more money is always nice, but comes with it's own price).

It's so good for us to reflect isn't it?!? I have just done some of that myself.
It is great to see updated pictures of your cute family and to hear how you are doing.
Yea! I'm glad for the update.
Isn't life awesome? Now that we're out of school (though I loved that part of life, too) and settling down, I look at my life and just feel so spoiled to have a wonderful husband and great kids. I'm excited that everything is going so well with you guys!
YAY! A blog post! Look how beautiful your family is! I can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
What a great post. Thank you for sharing! So glad you sound happy and that you are enjoying life!
