I spent the day with my kids. Leighton wasn’t around as he had to work. I had a lot of fun! Just me and the boys. The morning was pretty relaxed and then we went to the pool in the afternoon. The evening ended off with me crushing David in Starcraft. I love my kids. The other day David and Leighton were making the point that often I’m so focused on planning for the next day that I don’t stop and enjoy what I have right now. As I was spending time with God this morning, He told me to enjoy my kids today. And I did. It was great!
A day with the kids

It is always so awesome to hear that a mother is enjoying the incredible blessing of her children! It would’ve been very easy for you to resent your boys, or to view them as a chore when you were on your own, but I never saw you do that! You’re such a great mom! And now that Leighton has stepped in, what a wonderful completion to a great family! I’m so glad you still have fun with the boys, it’s the moms that take the time to “play”, that will be remembered in the hearts of little ones.
totally nin…
Tonight, I put the kids to bed, and I was too “tired” to enjoy them….they asked for a story and I passed them off. After they were asleep, I went into their rooms to “love them” but it was too late….can’t wake them up once they’re out.
I don’t want to miss God given opportunities…:(
Good thing his mercies are new every morning!
Thanks for the challenge to put your life aside to be WITH them….
I love those days!
Hey there WW, I just saw your wedding pics and read a bit of your blog. I am so happy for you and I thank you for the words that you wrote, they have touched a deep place in my heart.
Hi! i just want to thank you for your insight (today & every day).
in the mornings, when i am still needing more sleep & she’s deciding to wake up, i usually bring my 5 month old to bed & put her on the other side so that i have room to sleep. but this morning i felt the same way – i decided that i need to embrace this time and this stage in her life & ENJOY it. so i cuddled really close & we had a great sleep keeping each other warm. i honestly will remember this morning for a long time because of the decision i made to live in the moment & ENJOY my child. i need to do that more… so thanks for the encouragement. you are an incredibly strong woman who is full of God-given wisdom. I admire you for that.
