Lately I have felt completely overwhelmed with life. I won't go into boring details (because my struggles are the normal challenges of a stay-at-home mom) but tonight while I was finishing dinner for my family I opened the kitchen window and listened to the happy sounds of my children playing with their Dad.
Even though the air was frigid (it snowed again today) my heart felt gladness, love, and pure adoration for these little blessings in my home. It was a great moment and something I haven't experienced for quite some time. I also felt such joy as I realized that I was witnessing one of my dreams.
When Marcus and I were married there were many... how shall I say... suprises. One of the things we discussed in great detail before getting married was our hopes for a family someday. Marcus and I had the same desire for the roles we would play in our family. We both wanted to have a big part in raising our kids. It wouldn't just be my job as a mom to take care of our family. As I watched out the window tonight, I realized that we were lucky to have fulfilled this mutual dream. My girls LOVE their Dad. He is very capable of taking care of them if I need to be away. He is familiar with their wants and needs. Watching them play in the backyard tonight brought me true happiness.

He sounds like a keeper! I love those things about my husband too. It would drive me nuts if I had to do everything, and was the only one who could. Good men.
Cute pictures.
I had the same sort of moment recently. It are those little moments that help us get through those rough days. You are blessed! And you are a great mom. Take comfort in that.
Nice reflecting on the big picture! I love the pics of the girls and Marc. . .somehow there needs to be you too! So I just wanted to say you're welcome for us letting Marc practice on Bugs and Dave:) jk
I loved reading your thoughts. You have such a great, cute family. Your kids are lucky to have you.
I miss you!!

Your thoughts completely remind me of the Martina McBride song you and I love. I can't think of the title of it right now, but it talks about having a blessed life including hearing her children laughing, etc. I'm so happy you had such a wonderful experience. I sometimes those would last a little longer!
My favorite part of this post are your girls outfits. How cute.
You have the cutest little family! I enjoyed catching up on your posts. Looks like you are having fun! I am glad!!
