Do you ever stop to think of why you are on the road you're on? Do you wonder where life and circumstances are taking you, and what your role is in all of it? Sometimes I feel like putting on my mucking boots because the perverbial poo-poo seems to be getting to too deep. I found out a mutual friend is pregnant with her FIFTH child. How awesome is that!!??!! I must admit I am very jealous of her. All my life I have wanted lots of kids. I'm talking like four or five. Heck, at this point I would be happy having as many as the Lord wanted to bless me with. I love being pregnant, love giving birth but the best part is being there while they grow up and nurturing them until they fly the nest. Knowing that they are who they are because of their parents. How can you not want that? Don't get me wrong, I have 3 beautiful children that I am blessed to have, but deep down I yearn for more. A yearning so deep and strong I don't think it will ever go away.
We've had a lot of success this week with our "preschool work". I try to catch Abby on her good days when she is really interested, and then we have a lot of fun. Some days I'm lucky to get 15 minutes out of her. When she shows interest, Keara is not far behind wanting to copy whatever sister is doing. They are growing so close in their relationship now and I do hope that it lasts for the rest of their lives. They share a room together and I imagine that they share whispers at night, sometimes a little too loud for mommy and daddy to allow :) I know there will come a day that they will despise having to share a room, but they'll work it out because in the long run, it's good for them.
Ian won his first Soccer game this week. I missed it. Had to work. That's the part that I hate, missing out on the important things especially since there are not many years left for him before he's off to college. WOW! I can't believe it is becoming that close!
Oh, my lettuce and carrot seeds are peeking through the dirt!! I'm so excited that I've gotten them this far :) Wish me luck, I have a long way to go.
Well, here's to hoping that we can figure out what will happen and where we will be this summer. To enjoying our precious children answered prayers. I hear screaming in the background-girls are in full swing right out of naps!
