Sibs

 These are our beautiful kids.
 We are so blessed to have them. Even when they are rotten and I forget that I am blessed to have them.
 They really are wonderful.
See how cute they are when they are getting along? and are still and quiet in a picture? I have been struggling as a Mom lately. It is hard! They each have their phases and stages that are difficult to deal with. Sometimes their needs overlap and I am not feeling up to meeting all their needs. I am grateful for Travis who helps with their needs and especially being mindful of mine.
This wasn't going to be a grateful post, but that's okay. I guess I needed that.

It is hard!!! Some days I think, "I wish a had a job so I could get away from these kids!" But then I couldn't stay home and sew, blog, or read so I like my "job" now.

I know what you mean about overlapping phases, seriously I want to say to them sometimes only one problem child at a time, and it's not your turn!
