5 to 6

We are a family of six now. What?! Really? I have four children? Wasn't it last month I was enrolling in my first college course? Wasn't it a week ago I met Chris? Wasn't it just yesterday we got married and moved into that tiny one bedroom 400 square-foot apartment? And now I have four kids? Four  little souls that depend wholly on me? Four mouths that need 3 daily meals? Eight little feet to guide down the right path? Oi, who's idea was that? :) (I am sure someone somewhere reading this is thinking "you do know how that happens right?". Yes we do. And apparently we are really good at it! :))

As I looked at these four beautiful kids yesterday I was overwhelmed with love and gratitude that they are mine. That Heavenly Father wouldn't entrust four such precious souls into my care inadequate as I am. There is nothing more rewarding than being a mother. It truly is Gods work.

There has been such a peace and added spirit in our home since Brielle's  birth. At times it is almost tangible. Heaven truly must be closer than we think.

Oh how this baby is loved.
