I've been thinking a lot about what a lucky mom I am. I know people who seem to complain all the time about their life, especially their kids. I have GREAT kids. Yes, they have their moments, but there are so many more moments that they smile and get along and just make my life worth living. I've always known that I wanted to be a mom more than anything else on this planet, but actually being one is better than all the plans.
John told me the other day that I was lucky because I have three cute kids. He's so right. And yesterday he told me he was lucky because he has a happy family. 4 years old and he already knows what a blessing that is.
We've had a bit of a surprise with the news that we are expecting number 4 about Thanksgiving this year. This one just snuck in here a little early, but we already knew our family wasn't complete. We are so blessed that Heavenly Father sees fit to send us these beautiful babies, that love each other and make our lives better. I can't imagine living without the three I have and I'm sure that I will feel the same way about #4.
I love my kids and I'm the luckiest mommy in the world!
