Love, Mommy

To my dear sweet children and to my amazing husband....

Natalie, you are incredible! Your love of life just blows my mind. When I watch you playing with your sisters and giving your baby sisters kisses and hugs, it melts my heart. I am so proud of you and all that you have learned in this short time that you have been on the earth. I learn from you every single day and it truely humbles me to watch you grow. Thank you for always being so loving, for your kisses and sweet little hugs. Thank you for being such a good listener and for being patentient with me as your mother. I know that giving up the binkie has been extremely challenging for you. It must feel like loosing a best friend, but you have been so brave and so adaptable. I am so extremely proud of you baby. You have so much courage and inner strength and beauty! I can't wait to watch you grow into the woman you will become. I love you so much.

Delaney, my dear little love bug. I have come to know you more and more every single day. I love your sweet little smile and the sound of your laugh. It makes me feel so good inside when you lay your head down on my shoulder! You are kind, loving and cleaver! I am so proud of the way you are able to use your words to express yourself and your ability to use a spoon and fork. I am intoxicated by your bouncy curls!!! I love to watch you jump and play and see your wavy hair bounce about. Thank you for always being willing to share your toys. I know that you will be an amazing mother someday by your patience and loving pressence. I love you so much.

Kherrington, my darling little angel! You are a dream come true! Thank you for hardly ever crying and for your perfect little grin. I love to watch you discover new things everyday. I love when your face lights up when I walk into the room and how you love to hold my finger while you nurse. You are such a happy little baby. I didn't know it was possible to have a child that was always happy but you, my angel, are the happiest baby on the block! Thank you for your sweet little noises and how you kick your feet wildly when you get excited. I love the way you smell and they way you never cry when you wake up. I love your sweet spirit and knowing that you have come to us, so fresh from Heaven. You have me wrapped around your precious little pinky finger! I love you so much!

To all of our girls, we love you. Michael and I are so proud of our children. When we are in church and my girl say "Amen" at the end of the prayer, I feel SO much love in my heart. Not only for them but for my savior who has entrusted us with these precious babies.

And lastly, Michael. I am so proud of you and so proud of us. I love the way you play with our children, and how you always want to be involved in the home. I love that you are so considerate of my feelings and how you support me. Our daughters will hopefully marry a man like you someday and I know that if they do, they will find happiness. I love how I come first in your life, second only to God. I appreciate how hard you work and go to school and then come home and help me get the girls ready for bed. Thank you for knowing and loving me. For your patience, desire to be clean and for putting the toilet seat down! Thank you for loving The Lord and for being the head of our home. Thank you for comforting me when I cry and being my shoulder to lean on. Thank you for making me laugh and for being my best friend and the most amazing man that I have ever known. I love you more and more every day. There is no one on the earth that I would rather be trapped on an island with than you. You are my everything. I love you more than you will ever know.

What else can I say?.....I am so blessed!
