When I opened the front door this morning and found a delivery man on my front porch, I think I might have gasped a little bit. The flower arrangement was gorgeous. I felt a flood of emotions as I thought to myself how nice it is to have some recognition for my efforts. Taking care of 6 children can be very, very overwhelming. Adjusting to six children has been a humbling experience. I've had moments of complete exhaustion and frustration and I realize it's not going to end any time soon. The other day after a particularly difficult day Brent reminded me that
"they won't be so little and needy for long."
"Are you saying that so I'll remember to make the
most of this time while they're young or reminding
me to "hang in there?" I asked.
"Both," he replied with a smile.
I am currently flower sitting this gorgeous arrangement.
That's right, they aren't for me. Our neighbor Linda wasn't home to receive her Mother's Day gift. So, for now I'm enjoying the arrangement. Flowers are nice, but having happy, healthy children who love to be home and together as a family is all I need.

themselves to loving and nurturing,
