A Link

I read this post today and thought I'd link to it here. This is something I've been passionate about for a long time. I wish I had more time to write my thoughts but it'll have to wait for now.

Soon I will share Nate's birth story, which I've never actually written out, but have been wanting to. It was very traumatic and difficult to overcome emotionally and physically. But as a result of it I have become a stronger, more educated person. It's been a long and interesting jurney.

My Awesome Kids

Write That Down!

Every time I tell my mom something cute one of the kids says, that's what she tell me, "Write it down".

Today Kenny, Abi and I were listening to a CD of Sunday School songs. Sometimes my kids have trouble understanding certain English accents and when the song came on that goes, "A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam..." Nate got a funny look on his face and asked, "Why does Jesus want me for a Zombie?"

Kenny had a not-so-funny moment the other day, but memorable just the same. He was having a rough day and just seemed out of sorts all afternoon. By suppertime he was obviously struggling. I gave him a hug and asked him why he was feeling so sad. His tears spilled over and he said, "It's just so hard being a big brother." Needless to say, he's been getting more hugs and cuddles as a result of that conversation.
