This is me. One of the many places you can find me during any point of the day...snuggling my two baby boys. Jake took this picture a couple months ago (as you would guess if you are a fellow Arizonan and noted the long sleeves) but I think it reflects who I am. What I think of myself as. My Mommy look.
I am blessed with three wonderful, amazing little boys and a wonderful man. I enjoyed my Mother's Day immensely. I was able to enjoy a nice dinner surrounded by my loved ones at Mimi's Cafe. I ordered yummy turkey dinner. My little turkeys all liked it as well...even the little ones! I was presented with the sweetest Mother's Day card complete with a beautiful piece of artwork. It's a colorful car I am told. Jake took Elijah to Cost Plus World Market (love that store!) where Elijah picked out a beautiful pink frame. When Jake suggested something else he was told by Elijah that no, the frame was what he wanted to get me..."it says Happy Mother's Day" (not really, but that's what he thinks...how cute is that?)
Although I knew I was pregnant with twins last year at this time, I never quite imagined my life the way that it is now. It's wonderful and terrible. Quite odd to say, I know, but really, life has it's ups and downs and so to be quite honest, this last 8 months has been a whirlwind of them. Many of the people that I have talked to who have twins of their own told me the first year is the hardest...and I sure do hope they are right. If that's the case, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It's been hard to be at the doctors so much (I swear I live there), constantly sleep deprived, pulled in twenty directions, and live in a messy house that just adds to the chaos of things. Sometimes everything just feels a little surreal. It's been wonderful to see two entirely different babies at the same age, yet doing entirely different things. It's amazing to see their personalities grow. It's even more awesome to see all three boys interact and love each other (and fight too!) I am looking forward to all the time that I get to spend with my family and pray that one day (sooner than later!) I would be able to stay at home with them (or at least go to part time). Jake and I both have that as a goal and are praying that the Lord will make that happen. It is definitely a Biblical desire so I have total faith that He can provide this for us. On His time, I know...unfortunately that's sometimes hard to wait for. Patience is a virtue, that's for sure.
