As many of you know out of the past 7 weeks we have had visitors for 6 of them. I have loved every minute of it. I love building those relationships, watching my kids play with cousins, laughing etc. This past week we had to ourselves. I can tell my kids needed it. Layla, had a hard time adjusting to sleep and by the end of our visitors REFUSED as many of you witnessed. I am pretty sure that didn't help my mono (I hope it is gone). These past few days I actually mopped my floor and folded laundry which felt nice. The other day some cute neighborhood kids set up a stand selling homemade Lolly Pops. Here we are enjoying a few on a relaxing afternoon. Visitors are great and being your own little family is amazing as well. We need a bit of both.
I love my children so much. I feel so blessed in this crazy economy to still be at home. What a blessing it is to have my two sweet children. My life has changed over the last few weeks after following this story Patrickandashley.blogspot.com of our friends little niece. Although, we don't know this amazing family personally I am in awe at these parents strength and testimony. I have never second guessed being at home or having my children, but after reading their story it gave me a new appreciation for God trusting me with these two amazing spirits. I have also come to realize that as we go through out our lives we need to do all we can to stay close to God and help our testimonies grow. We are mortal, lifes trials will come our way but so much of that load can be made lighter the closer we are to Our Father in Heaven. There is a sense of peace and comfort when we come to truely understand Gods plan. I hope to always be worthy of such a gift.
