... WEEK 4

So this is considered my end of January post. I have been slacking big time. Busy life with 3-4 kids all week, shopping and cleaning on Saturdays, and church all day Sunday. Not to mention other activities, cooking, and maybe even catching a moment to sit for a minute here and there.. (like right now). I know I'm not the only one, and not complaining at all... I would rather be busy, then bored with nothing to do! But either, way.. Enough of the slacking, and I promise myself to at least blog once a week now. :)

So this picture is already on Facebook for those of you who have seen it, but I had to use it. I can't look at her precious face, with that silly little grin and not feel overwhelmed at the love I have for that little girl. I can say it all day long, and I know I am not the only mother who feels this way. But it's just exciting and such a blessing to have pure sweetness and innocence to wake up to every morning! Being a mother was always something I looked forward to even when I was really young. My mom and I loved going to garage sales, and she would let me pick up things for my baby dolls, and I remember that being so exciting as a kid. I had "REAL" car seats and bassinets for my babies. I would bring them to church, feed them, love them, and put them to bed just like they weren't made of plastic. Now I will admit, even with all the dreaming and "practicing" I did as a child, and even into my teen years with so much baby-sitting and nannying, I can't even remember!--There were still so many surprises as a new mother. It was challenging at times, but more than anything, it was rewarding. I can already look back now that my little girl is already about to go into her 16th month, and see how I have grown, and changed since Remi was born. Babies have a way of bringing about challenges now just in caring and nurturing, and parenting them, but in other relationships in our lives. And not just in my marriage! Speaking of my marriage, I couldn't express how much Remi has brought my husband and I so much closer. We have one thing in common now, and it's her! She is our every day joy, and happiness. No matter what we go through, or how tough times may get--You can't look at her wobbling all over the house, talking up a storm, (she is a TALKER), and not just feel... HAPPY. She is a precious, and pure GOD given little girl. I thank him every day for her.

Nothing creative here. Just boring you all with the same ole same ole. And again, I do understand that about all of us mothers feel the same way! It's just nice to share sometimes. Hope I still have some readers out there, despite the temporary disappearance. :)
