I haven't written in forever- school is almost out and my last post was the first day of school. I completely forgot to do a 6 year old BJ post, so that is on my to do list now. But just a thought. I love being a mom. Yes, it is exceedingly hard, with midnight awakenings for illness, scary dreams, and potty breaks, the not being appreciated, the very rare breaks we get, the worry about raising them right, it is so much harder than I ever dreamed. But the benefits are immeasurable. The dandelion bouquets, the homemade cards, the early morning snuggles, the maple syrup kisses, the "I love you's". And I know it may even get harder as they age and aren't as cute as they are right now, and don't forgive as easily, but I love these two little gifts from God excessively.
BJ and Anika,
It is my honor to be your mom, to watch you grow, kiss your owies, and pray over you at night. I pray that the God who covers over a multitude of sins will redeem my messy imperfect parenting and lead you onto the path He has for you. I may raise my voice to much (passionately), and may be a little on the crazy side (always), but am forever crazy about you two. Never doubt that, I am your biggest fan, your hugest supporter, and cannot wait to see what God has in store for the two of you!
Love you to the moon and back,
Mom
