Motherhood...

What a joy it is to be a mom! I am so lucky to have 3 beautiful, healthy boys. I am so in love with my Hayden bug. He brings a smile to my face every time I look at him. He has such a sweet, loving personality.



I think I've lost some memory
since Hayden was born
I don't remember sleeping late
on a lazy Sunday morn

I don't remember long warm baths
with bubbles and a good book
Or my favorite TV program
or a movie worth a look.

I can't remember all those things
I spent time on yesterday
And I can't remember life
being any other way.

And as I lay him down at night
and kiss this little boy
I can't remember so much happiness,
such love and joy in my world.

I know for me it's been a long time since I can remember life without my boys. I wouldn't want life any other way though!


I believe that my main calling in life is to raise these boys to become servants of the Lord. I was sent here to earth to be a mother, and I know that with all of my heart. This is what I am supposed to be doing. I love my Hayden, his squishy cheeks, his chubby feet, legs, and hands, and his bright blue eyes.

I love you Hayden!
(Thanks for choosing me.)
