Well we have been so busy lately. I don't really know how it happened maybe it's just due to how long everything takes when you have 3 kids under the age of 3. I was reading in Ecclesiaties the other day, that famous passage that says "A time to..." well when I read "a time to be born" it really made me think about God's timing in my life and how He has chosen to bless me with three beautiful kids. I am trully thankful! Having said that I know that my patience is on high demand and low supply. Lately my sweet Jack has been asserting his own free will a lot. Especially in the area of food. I think he's just using that though as an outlet for stubborness, because he's even refusing to eat things like PB&J that I'm sure he likes. Plus the lack of mommy time , since calvin was born, is catching up with him. Lately he's been throwing a fit when I have to nurse calvin and has even asked to nurse a few times even though it's been about 7 months since he last did.
I feel like I have a lot on my plate, but that's way it goes one week you feel so totally fulfilled by all these things going on in your life and the next thing you know those very same things have you feeling overwhelmed. Lately I've been dwelling on peoples sin instead of on Christ's love. Don't get me wrong sin living in people's lives has to be dealt with but if that's all you think about you will feel defeated, and I have. I need to just give praise to my sweet Jesus who loves me and all others with unfailing love that I don't yet comprehend!
This blog has been kinda random but that just shows I have a lot on my mind. I do want to recognize that it's Mom's day tomorrow and not only am I a mom who's really hoping to take it easy tomorrow, but I have to say I trully have the world's greatest mama and mother-in-law. I couldn't do have of what I do without my mom around! I have never a day in my life paid for a babysitter. I'm so glad that both my mom and Bryan's mom are always positive with me. They never give unasked for advice and respect my decisions with my kids. I love you both!

Things are so different the second and third time around wouldn't you say mamas. I know it would seem that I'd be more stressed out with three kids than I was with one but I'm really not. Don't get me wrong I am super busy and soon something has to give, but at least I have more info this time around and don't feel so clueless. And there's not so much pressure to do things someone else's way.I mean so what if Jackie isn't pottie trained yet or doesn't talk that great, if you spend two minutes with him you know he's smart and clever and sweet. He has made his mind up to do things in his time and since I am more laid back now I am okay with that. As for Lucy, she's still my first baby everything that happens with her is still new to me, so I am still guessing half the time with her. Poor first children with untrained parents.... But I have to give props to my third baby, Calvin. He must be the world's easiest baby. I have to give some of the credit to myself though, I am his mama, go me! Well there's no time left for me to blog afterall I do have three kids!
