My Heart for Yours?

Valentine's Day is not Josh's thing. Of course, I'm crazy about any holiday. ( I love me some presents) I'm thinking "Josh thinks I'm I crazy to be suckered into buying heart-shaped-anything just because it's Valentine's day?" In reality I haven't caved, but I have given lots of thought about my gift to my children. I love them more than what I thought I could love. Both Nate and Lew's world is fresh and new and beautiful. I've come to realize the importance of being present with the boys. I get so caught up in managing the house, shuttling Nate to school and playdates, to scheduling LJ's medical appointments that I forget about the things that bring me joy. What I should be giving the boys is the availability of my mind. I love them with all my heart. I love them more than I know how to say.

I am trying extra hard to live in the moment these days...

  2. You truly are an amazing mommy! You have been through so much and I'm sure have been tested at times by doctors, running around all over the place, heartache, etc... but you still remain strong for the boys, especially Lewis and that's just one of the million reasons, you are such an amazing mom and person! And you can totally tell those boys truly love their mommy! You are such a role model to me! Love you

  3. That was such an amazing post. The love for a child is one I don't think you can ever capture in words, but you came darn close. And your advice was a great way for me to start my day at home with Hayden. Thank you.
