Life is awesome!

I realized today that I haven't posted in a while and just wanted to write a little of how I am feeling lately. I feel SO blessed with the life I have. I am surrounded by such wonderful, "little people", they make me smile every day. Even though some days are crazy and they don't seem to listen some times, they truly are such great little examples to me:-) Anna, aka #1 is so smart and kind. She may have her moments, but she definitely is such a kind hearted child. She keeps me updated on her life...meaning she is a talker:-) I love when it is bed time and she and I will talk about her day and she fortunately will tell me everything. She is a snuggler too! Megan, aka #2, keeps me in line and helps me be the mom and wife that I want to be. i.e., Mom count to ten. This is when things got heated with #1, which isn't too often, but I found that the last time, about 3 weeks ago (the week of by birthday) #1 was being very sassy and I started to raise my voice and that's when #2 saved the day. Sad to many that a soon to be 7 year old needs to calm the storm, but this is my life and I feel blessed that I have them here to help me through this life that is given to us. Anyway, she, #2, may be a little crazy sometimes, but all in all she is an introvert who is very soft and gentle, and VERY thoughtful, also very creative and inventive. Amanda #3 is SO sweet. Just randomly, throughout the day she will say, "Mom, I love you! or Mom, you are the best!", always with a soft kiss on the cheek. She is constantly keeping her things nice and organized, especially ALL of her baby dolls. I think she will be the one who has a lot of kids. Last but not least, little Maggie, aka #4. What can I say, she is the funnest little 2 year old. I am REALLY happy that she is out of her screaming stage. Probably cause she talks a lot more. Anyway, she is constantly making all of us laugh. She is always giving me hugs and kisses and is probably the most polite little two year old I know:-) Tanto mommy or peeasse mommy:-) I love it! Did I mention that my hubby is a great daddy who loves to play and be creative with the little ones. He is definitely the calmer of the two of us with the kiddos. He has such a good perspective on childhood. To say the least, LIFE is AWESOME!!!!!
