Saturday

It has been a great day so far. The sun is out and it has been a peaceful and glorious morning.
This morning is one of those mornings that Shannon and I talked about when the girls were just babies...one of those day's we couldn't wait for. The girls came into our room, like they do every day to wake up mom and dad, and they crawled into bed with us. There is nothing in this world more better than having your little kids sandwiched between you in the morning. There was lots and lots of laughter, playing, tickling, and love. We usually only get one girl in bed with us in the morning or we don't get to just lay in bed and be goofy like we were today. It was so fun. I love listening to the way Ashley laughs and laughs when Shannon is giving her the "claw". Or when Abbey laughs and squirms to get out of my grip when I am tickling the bottom of her feet. I love listening to their voices as they beg us to stop but then turn around and want more. I also love the way they sing and make up silly words to the songs. It is great being a mom.
All my life that is the only job I ever wanted and I am forever thankful that we are able to let me stay home. Sure we struggle with not being able to afford a lot of things right now but I think that what I am doing is irreplaceable. I am also thankful to God because He always knew what I wanted in my heart and He has provided for us in so many ways.
It's wonderful to be a mom!!
