Robin, you are one of the BEST moms I know! Dad and I are so proud of you and Dennison, and we think Carter and Jude could not possibly be any cuter.
We love you!
love love love your list!! the first thing that came to my mind from your question is how much I love and respect my own mother. And as you know it doesn't end there... for generations our mothers have been lovingly strong and faithful. It is an honor to be numbered among them. YOU are a beautiful addition to that legacy darlin
Great post. YOu said a LOT of things I would have said! I may do my own list eventually. :)
I love your list - and I agree. :) I'm not as poetic as you, but I know one thing - if I were not a Mom, I wouldn't have spent an hour and a half in the nurse's office at school digging a piece of glass out of my son's hand! And I wouldn't have had to hold back the tears once it was out - if I weren't his mom.
Robin you are so sweet and a darling mommy. I know your parents are so proud of you and Dennison and the family and life you are making for yourself. Nothing makes parents feel more successful than to see the rightous choices and decisions being made by our grown-up children. The love and joy continues through the years as your mothering has to change, but it's always the very most rewarding blessing our Heavenly Father gives to his daughters. I'm so glad you find it so rewarding! I love you, sweet girl!!!
I love this list. I agree with nearly ALL of them. Especially, nap schedule, sleep being a gift, buying kids clothes, crying when I read/watch the news, crying all of the time...
