What am I doing?!

The longer I'm a mom the more I realize
that I have no idea of what I'm doing!
Back before I had kids I was the best
mom on the planet. Turns out I lost my abilities
as soon as I actually became a mother. Weird.

Evelyn

The alpha-female!
I say that but
in all reality Evi
is one of the
most tender
little girls I've
ever come across.
She loves her
brother and
sister to the
point of annoyance
for both parties.
Of course they
both love her
dearly just more
at a distance.

Caitlin

Ever since Caitlin
has come to our
home life has been
one big drama fest!
She has so much
spirit that one can't
help but be sucked
into her many many
moods. I believe
that great things
await this little one.

"The Boy"

This is "The Boy"
aka: Spencer.
Of all my babies
he has been
the most laid back.
Until recently
he never cried
unless seriously
wounded.
Oh, and he was sleeping
through the night
at 8 weeks old.
I don't know
why I qualified for
such a terrific kid
but I'm gonna
take him and run.

Children=really short hair!

Time moves so quickly these days. It wasn't that long ago that I was sitting
in geometry listening to Mrs. Peterson lecture about cake decorating. Now I'm the one decorating birthday cakes! I guess I should have listened better because ....well ....I'm pretty bad. I'm grateful that I cater to such a forgiving audience.
When I actually have time to think, I'm always amazed at how much I've changed. I'm still me of course, older but still me. My mom even says I look different since I've started having children. I guess what I'm trying to say is that being a "mommy" is the best change I've ever made! I do have days that I want to pull my hair out (hence the shortness of it) but after they're all asleep I'm reminded of how blessed I am to have such wonderful little people grace my life. And in just a few short weeks James and I get to welcome our newest little angel. Maybe I'll get a buzz cut!
