I LOVE BEING A MOM

I Love being a mom. It's hard. It's emotionally draining. It's exhausting. But all the little moments mean more than words can describe. Sometimes pictures are better. Like this day we went to the park for a picnic.

Isabella loved her first apple! Haylie is such a pretty little girl. I can't believe how fast she has grown. MAKE IT STOP! She drew a picture of her hands for me the other day so that I could keep her "Little hands" forever.
When we lived back east Freemen really struggled with asthma. Every day we had to hold him down to give him his medication through a nebulizer. It was really hard. He hated it. It was difficult to watch him go through that. Recently when he got sick we treated him again for the asthma. It was the first time in about 2 years. He actually sat by himself and held on the nebulizer mask by himself without any fights. Greg and I were stunned. It's hard to explain what a change that was. He has grown up so fast. He's not my baby any more. He's a little boy.
Like I said, I love being a mom. Its all the little things that are really big.

What sweet babies. Freemen likes my bike, huh? I haven't really ridden it yet because I don't have a license yet. I just got helmets today for mom and I. I'm not sure she will ride with me, but we'll see. I think that I might have to grow a ponytail....what do ya think? Dad
