One of the Best Decisions I have made....

I must say I love being a MOM!!!!! It has to be one of the best decisions we made to have a baby and soon another. I sure love my Katelyn. Granted she insists on calling me dad lately instead of mom, gets frustrated easy, and loves to try my patients. However, I love that she gets excited when I come home. That she runs up and tries to climb up me saying up up up. Then I pick her up and she snuggles against me and goes "awe". Then she will start babbling about her day. I love that she will come over with a book and say "please please book." I love reading books and playing with her. At times I miss the days of just relaxing with Boston and not having to worry about what she is doing or getting into. Then I look at her and she smiles and I realize that having children is one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me. I am grateful I can have children and fill my home with laughter. One to leave their toys across the house and to climb on my lap just to give me a hug and kiss.

I know some think that kids are overrated, too expensive, and too much work. I say you are missing out. You are missing out on some amazing blessings. They aren't too expensive you just need to think less of your self and more of those special spirits waiting to come and take their turn on this earth or even those already on this earth that need good parents! Give up all those extras and enjoy the love of a child. The memories you have with a child are priceless! They are not overrated but underrated. Are they a lot of work? Yeah, but good golly it is the funniest and most rewarding work I have ever done.

I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and that he too wants a lot of kids. Is it going to be a lot of work... yes! Will we get to go on fancy vacations and drive expensive vehicles? Most likely not, but I am OK with doing with out all the luxuries of life. I just want to be a good mom and to be able to get all the hugs and kisses I can. I want to be able to tuck them in at night and teach them about the love of our Savior and Heavenly Father. I want to bandage up scrapped knees and quite all their fears. I am grateful I am a Mom. I am so grateful to the Lord for giving me this great opportunity!
