Already, motherhood it is the most challenging yet rewarding thing I have ever done. (And I'm only just over two years into it...) Even when my back and arms are aching from holding my big boy and my ears are ringing from Julia's crying while I hold fussy Gabe because
she wants to be held, I know I am so lucky to have these two funny people in my life. I wouldn't want it any other way. Playing with dolls almost daily until I was twelve, I grew up dreaming of becoming a real mom. And here I am, living the dream. It may not seem like a dream-life when I have slobber on my shirt sleeve, no make-up on, disheveled hair, and feel so exhausted all I want to do is collapse. But it truly is. I love my little friends.
Remind me to revisit this post tomorrow, when the kids won't be soundly sleeping and I will most likely need to refocus. How can I not feel like I have the best job in the world when I see these faces?
Julia calls Gabe "Bubbles Mouth." And I bet he'll call her Ju Ju, like most everyone else does.

yes, we ALWAYS need reminders of what real sweethearts our little kiddos actually are...especially amidst the poop, drool, and tantrums!!
darlings pictures, your kids are such dolls!
It is the best and hardest thing we'll ever do! I love it too. Of course we have hard days. I guess it's good to have the rough times so we can appreciate the good ones! Your kids are adorable. You are such a great mom!
Motherhood is the best. I was just thinking today how I have used the blow dryer about 3 times in the last 4 months. I wonder what I will be like with multiple children in the house! Yikes
It is true how can you not love those faces? You kids are so beautiful. I don't think I have seen a cuter little girl! Your kids have beautiful eyes!
I have to remind myself how much I love it more these days with the twins getting into everything. but your kids are super cute!
I needed to read this post today more than you know...wait, you probably DO know. Thanks!
that first paragraph sounds exactly like my days every day too! it's reassuring to know that most others moms are going through the same things as me. and i try to also remind myself often that i'm living my dream.... so true.
hey- did you know that drew's julie is from our ward here in missouri and we know her! crazy!
Aw. It's admirable that you can find the positive in mist of all of the mess. :o) Must be because you're a good mother...
We love you sweetheart.
Bubbles mouth, eh? Very funny. They are sure cuteheads.
