Moms

I wonder if I am the only one, that when my mom comes to visit... or help {when I say "mom"... my mother in law is included in that word... although my intentions were to get some pictures of my mother in law too, I failed. I honestly don't know where my mind was... once she left I remembered all my ideas I had with her and my children - picture wise. Oh well - next time Kalle - promise. So although all the following are of my mom, just know that when I say "mom" it includes my sweet mother in law Kalle as well.}... I feel like I will never be able to do all that she does. She is pretty amazing. Pure talent to me, lately -or rather it is a bit of magic, is being able to have my laundry done before it even hits the ground. No joke, both these women have this ability to have my laundry done and folded before it hits the basket or ground. Not to mention how my children LOVE their grandma and nana. They love them more than me - pretty much. But that is okay... because I know what it is like to love your grandma and want to be with her 24/7. It is a blessing that my children have this. It is a blessing that I have this.


I could have not gotten through the first two weeks of three children if it were not for our moms. Thank you. I love you; so very very much. There are no words to express the amount of love and gratitude I have for you, for all you have done and given me and my babes. I hope and pray that one day I will amount to the mothers you are... I have big shoes to fill.
The above picture is my mom laughing at Reagan. Taken on the day we brought Grey home.

The picture below is when she caught me taking pictures.
But really... I mean she is pure beauty.


Grey and my mom... having a moment.

Your mom *is* fabulous! =) Im sure your MIL is, too...but I don't know her. You are much, much closer to being like your mom than you think. To me- you two could be clones- both in beauty, mannerism and talent. I know you are enjoying your new little love. Give that piece of heaven a little kiss in my honor. I love seeing his pictures. Its like crack (in a good way?). I wish R were that small again. Oh how I wish it! Post lots more!!!

Your mom is stunning. I want to look like her when I grow up.

I know exactly what you are experiencing....our dresser drawers wont close because they aren't used to being FULL of clean clothes. The Dishes don't sit in the sink and the laundry baskets are always empty. The last shift of help goes home on Saturday and I am not sure how I will do it all on my own. I keep asking myself if I am really a mother of 3, REALLY 3....it's not that it's that much harder it's just that I never would have thought I could love all 3 SO completely and still have room for everything else in life. I hope Grey is doing well and I hope you are finding time to sleep. Jeremiah informed me last night that my eyes were blood shot....to which I said duhhhh lack of sleep. Good luck! You do have a great mom!!
