Joy . . .

These are my gooses,

my sweetpeas,

my love punkins,

my life.

I am so in love with being a mom to these four kids of mine.

It's pure and absolute joy.

Even with the diaper changing and the sleepless nights.

and the never-ending laundry pile.

a simple request...

I love my Nicole.

Last night as she was saying her personal prayers she said, "And please bless Andrew to sleep through the night so Mom and Dad can get the sleep they need."

I about cried.

How thoughtful and observant.

(or maybe its just that I've been extra ornery this past 2 months because of lack of sleep?)

in either case,
Seriously love that almost ten year old of mine.
