Content With My Family

    At the end of the hall, a basket of clean clothes is waiting to be folded.  

The kitchen floor needs to be swept for the 4th time this week.  

The Angry Bird game that was just given as a birthday gift is all over the living room floor 

waiting for the unexpected visitor to drop by.  

The bikes are being washed by four enthusiastic kids, while their Daddy takes a much 

needed nap with our newest little baby, Brynlie Hope.

Yes, I could go and clean, but instead I am enjoying the cool breeze from the

screen door of the recent rainfall.  I hear the soft humming of Morgan as she washes her bike,

& then her laughter as she spins the bike tire and water sprays her unexpectedly.

For the moment, they are all getting along and working together to clean their bikes.

For me, it means a couple of minutes of quiet.

On June 7, we welcomed our 5th little baby into the world.  She is beautiful, healthy,

& everything I could hope for with our last little baby.  I hope she likes us.  :)

I thought for sure that 5 would be hard, and trust me it is. I am behind in a lot of areas, and still haven't quite figured out how to make dinner for 4 little mouths and 2 adult mouths  while nursing a baby, but I am

optimistic that one day I will get it down.  For now, I am trying to enjoy the moments.

The moments of happiness, laughter, extra hugs & kisses, and being together

with the family I always dreamed of having when I was a little girl.  

They are here, and they are mine,

and oh what a blessing!

(These big grins make me smile every day.)

I saw this quote the other day and knew I had to make a printable of it.

After all, family is the most important.

I hope you enjoy!
