Mother's Day

Oh my heart.  I love being a Mom.  The joy in calling these two precious little humans mine is more than I can understand.  Raising them is not easy, but loving them is.  Having a six and four year old is full of sticky surprises, snacking, whiny complaints, adorable made up songs, impromptu kisses, squabbles over sharing, negotiating, messes, snacking, creativity, endless energy, constant questions, increasing independence, snacking, mood swings, tickle fests, oh and did I mention the snacking? These kids would snack all day long if we let them.

We have so much fun as a family these days.  I love that we are in a stage where we can explain things to them and they understand.  I love what an excellent reader Kate is becoming and how she teaches Luke who is eager to soak up anything she says.  I love that they are best buddies and light up each afternoon when they are reunited.  They are constantly hugging and loving on each other.

We had a nice Mother's Day weekend, Peggy was in town so we were able to celebrate her as well.  We went to the Kentucky vs. South Carolina baseball games and Matt and John grilled us a feast to spoil us.

To all the wonderful moms out there who happened to stop by to see if I ever still post anything on this blog (not nearly as often as I once did), I hope you had a very happy Mother's day!
