Life!!!!

Tonight the girls had the opportunity to be in the Sea to Ski Jr. parade.  They were all super excited and Maya kept calling it "The Show".  We were all in the back of the truck and Maya is taking it all in and then looks at me and says "I''m tired, I am going to sleep."  I got her to stay awake for 1/2 of the parade and then she went to sleep in my arms.  When she woke, she wanted to know where "The Show" was.  Mackenzie and Sydney enjoyed being in the parade although Sydney said she would much rather watch the parade than be in it.   

Next weekend is our first camping trip out in our trailer.  Up to now we have only tented it in all our almost 16 years of marriage.  We are all so excited to get away for a long weekend as well as taking out the trailer. Now if we could get some sunshine to go with our weekend that would be icing on the cake!!! 

Today us girls were able to take my mom out for her birthday.  We went to Giuseppes and then walked a bit on the waterfront.  We had a nice time spending time with my mom and celebrating who she is and what she means to us. 

Blessed beyond belief

Our 3 Princesses - Mackenzie (10), Sydney (8 1/2) Maya (4)

Feelings of overwhelming gratitude to be the mommy of these three incredible girls.  God is so good.  These girls have shaped me, caused me to grow and stretched me beyond what I thought was capable.  I enjoy being their mom even though it is the hardest job I have ever done and the most important.  I pray for God's wisdom to equip me to be the person he wants me to be so I can be an example to these beautiful girls God has blessed us with.  Maya is growing up so fast, learning so much as well.  She is a well adjusted happy child that makes me laugh every day.  Her energy is endless.  Sydney has such compassion and zest for life.  She is full of love and joy.  Mackenzie is  a peacemaker and loves to use her imagination and be outside.  Her carefree spirit is a blessing to our family.  I marvel at the way God has given us three very distinct girls with all different needs and how that causes me to have to rely on God's leading.  As hard as that is to not be able to figure it all out - I wouldn't have it any other way as it causes me to rely on God for his guidance and direction.  As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend it is an honor to be their mom.  I love you Squirt, Peanut, and Monkey.
