Happy

I love the simplicity of my life right now. I love that my job is to get two sleepy heads up in the morning and make them breakfast. I love reading them stories and playing on the floor. I love getting them dressed, changing diapers and keeping them happy and healthy. I'm not great at it, but I love getting the groceries and making meals. I love trying out things for the girls and go to bed at night thinking up what new foods I can make them the next day. I love getting in my MINIVAN, yes minivan ha, and listening to my praise and worship music while I soak up the babbles and squeaks behind me. I love that so much is "taken" from me each day, that when the girls go down I really appreciate my time to myself. I love flopping down on the couch SO exhausted, but SO fulfilled. I love watching Lance be a Dad. I love that he knows all the words to the baby einstein DVDs and knows just how to get the girls to sleep. I love how he can smile and laugh that we eat dinner at 9pm amidst piles of laundry and toys. I love matching baby clothes, hair bows and baby dolls. I LOVE that when I am without them, although I really enjoy some time away, I feel like part of me is missing. I love their unique personalities. I love seeing their potential and dreaming about what kind of little people they will turn out to be. I love the way being a mom has upped my prayer life like a million percent. I have to pray myself out of bed each morning and specifically ask God to go before me each day because I cannot do this job alone. My dependence on him has become much more tangible now that we have the girls.  

I love being a mommy more than I every thought imaginable. I know life comes and goes in seasons. I know these days will soon seem like a little blip on the radar. I don't want to forget them. I don't want to wish them away, dreaming of a day when the budget won't be so tight and I won't be so tired. 

God has given me such a great gift. I am so thankful. 

I seem to have a hard time remembering the days when I opened the fridge, got a snack and sat and ate it alone! But this picture definitely sums up my days right now. :)
