We've had a busy week! I had Amy come last Sunday. Then we had two families from our church come over for games last night, then tonight, my friend Kristie came over for a visit. We had a great time. I got to meet her son, Noah. He is adorable! Big brown eyes and gorgeous skin! He was so good. I think the only time I heard him get fussy was right before they left. It was past his bedtime.
Motherhood is hard. Can I get a holla? Kristie and I were discussing some of the things we have to deal with when we enter motherhood. I guess I had the romantic idea of how things would be before I had kids. I just assumed that my kids would never misbehave. And, if they did, I would immediately catch it and punish them severely.......Can anyone relate? It's so different when they are your children. Emotions cloud your judgement. Everything changes when you have a little person to care for 24 hours a day. I appreciate my down time. I wish I had more of it, sometimes. At first, for me, it seemed like I was giving up so much of my freedom. I now realize it has just made me appreciate it. I took it for granted. Young blog readers, value the time you have before children. It's so precious. Having children is precious, too, but it's a job where you never clock out, and you don't get paid. The time I have with my children is treasured and I don't regret my decision to have them, but I do look forward to a time with more freedom again.

However, I read with Michael tonight, and it's so sweet to just snuggle on the bed with him and listen to him get into the books we read. Those are the moments I will miss when I have my freedom back.

i'm so glad you were able to visit with kristie...and i agree that motherhood is hard, especially when your children are younger. i'm in a bit of an easy stage...well, today was easy, who knows what tomorrow will bring.
Love the photos...thanks for sharing. Any news about Cara?
not really....she is settling into married life, but didn't hear much else about her.
