Zeke, Charis, and Eden with Luke on the roof of the chicken coop as the sun set last night.
When I was a young teen I loved being with my little brother, Jacob. He sparked in me a love for children. We so enjoyed running barefoot together through the park . . . family camping trips at the beach . . . taking pictures . . . baking cookies together. Everything was more fun with him around.
I began dreaming of having my own children. I wanted to delight in them. I wanted them to know that I loved having them around. I want to build things, do things, learn about life and love all of the blessings of our Savior together with them.
Not everyday of motherhood has felt like that beautiful dream.
There have been up and downs and days where I was tempted to despair. There have been many moments when I was too tired to care much about any of it.
But most days I look around at my bundles of joy and my wonderful husband and know that I am living my girlish dreams.
Only, this is better.

You are busy, but blessed! I'm glad you enjoy your children and delight in them. I'm glad you love your husband. I learn a lot just watching you interact with your family. Wish you could have been my teacher instead of me yours. ;-)
