Ephraim's accomplishments

Ephraim is now crawling and pulling himself up to standing. This all just happened suddenly in the same week. Congratulations little guy!

enjoying motherhood

I was driving to the mall yesterday to get my glasses fixed yesterday when I had some thoughts about motherhood. I thought about how most of my days are filled with dishes, laundry, changing dirty diapers, wiping snotty noses, side stepping mine fields of toys, kissing booboos, playing cars, getting snacks, making food, and running errands. Then I had an overwhelming feeling of joy and satisfaction. I'm so blessed and I would not want to do anything else. Sometimes doing some of those things feels like a chore or can be tiresome but there is really no other job I'd rather have. I'm blessed to have a husband that works so hard to make it possible for me to stay home with our boys. My only response was to give a prayer of thanks.
