Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies! I feel so blessed to be friends with so many awesome moms and moms to be's. I never knew how much my mom did for me or loved me until I had my boys (I still think she is keeping some of her secrets up her sleeve- but she swears I would have time to do all she does if I gave up email and blogging-- never!). I feel so blessed to have learn from the best!

It is amazing how your heart can grown in an instant and your life can changed forever when you have kids. I always knew I wanted to be a mom but I never knew how much fun shaving cream art projects, planting gardens, pitching baseballs and driving my little man to school could be. I can't imagine my life without my boys and their crazy antics - i wouldn't laugh nearly as much - this I know.

back to the baby factory for you!

Today Jack asked when we were taking Thomas back to the hospital. HUH? You can imagine that that caught me a bit off guard. One might think he doesn't like him and wants to return him for a better newer model, but it really wasn't said in a malicious he's getting into my toys now kind of asking. It was more just the sweet innocence of a three year old not knowing where this baby that was dropped into our lives will fit permanently. I am glad he was glad that Thomas is here to stay!

this is what's right with my life.
