Andrew making cake with mommy
"The more I appreciate, the happier I am." That's been my focus for today. I can become discontent so easily. But, when I choose to focus on all God's given me....even chocolate batter splattering on my counter :) I can rejoice. I am so grateful for my life as a Mom! Being the mom of 4 is challenging and rewarding. I've never been this tired in all my life!! There are days and nights that I just long for a little rest, but God's grace and strength are so sufficient and I am blessed! (and HAPPY).

What a sweet picture! I hear ya about the frustration at times. Somedays I feel like I've reached the top of my Chloe meter and I can't deal with one more tiny little thing. Matt reminded me tonight after a mini-battle with Chloe at bedtime that this is exactly when God's grace is so precious and needed. Sigh. Wish I could be there to help ease your mommy burden and sip some java with you. :) Hang in there, dear. Mommying is the most important job in the world!
Al, thanks for the encouragement. I've been up since 5 and Eden is still awake. I can't let her cry for too long (I did for almost an hour) because she woke everyone else up :)
GOD'S GRACE....How precious!!
Oh dear, 5 am?!? I know how you feel. Chloe woke at 5 but thankfully went back to sleep at 6. What is with these babies?! Praying for you today and drinking some strong coffee.
That is the sweetest picture ever! He is such a sweet little boy. You have such a good attitude about the "help" and Andrew will remember that long after the cake is gone! Are you going to Brent's game tonight at 9? I thought that might be a little bit late for you to be out with the kids, but thought I would check! Sorry I didn't make it to the game on Tuesday! Have a good day! Praying for you.
Chef Drew looks like he's having lots of fun! Edwardo would be proud of him.
Hey, Carissa! I just wanted to say hi, and that I fully aggree with you about counting our blessings, and being thankful to be a mom. I only have one, and I'm beat, so I can't imagine the zomby I would be with more :)! Nice to see you, and hear how well you are doing! Alyssa (Phillips) Wentzel
