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 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.
(Thanks for choosing me.)

Wow Erin, you are such an incredible mom! Thanks for sharing your insight into motherhood. We can all use a reminder of what a truly important calling it is.

So sweet. I can't wait to get to know Hayden better this winter.
Erin you are so talented in so many ways. It is true you are so lucky to have such beautiful and wonderful boys, but they are even more lucky to have such a beautiful and wonderful mother.
