Momma and Me

When I'm at work, I love being at work. But, when I'm at home, I LOVE being home. I get to see all the little funny things Kalyn does. I think being an "older" mom and having so many friends and family walk this path before me has really been to my advantage, I've gleaned a lot from them. I don't worry so much about little things, but what I do concern myself with is raising this little girl of ours. It finally set in the other day that THIS is my job. The dishes, and laundry, and meal making, and all the other things moms have to multi-task come with the territory, but the real job is this little life God's given to me to raise. If dinner is late because I spent a little more time playing with Kalyn ... then we eat late ... but Kalyn goes to bed knowing she is loved and has two parents who spend time with her. I never hear kids complain that their mom didn't do the dishes, but I hear plenty say they don't feel loved. There is so much freedom in gaining a bigger perspective and then living under it. So in the meantime ...

we get to read books, and play on the floor ...


and take baths ...


and go swimming with Grammy, and play with cousins Kyle and Jeremy ...


... and know that this little life is loved!
