I am grateful!!

Clint and I recently met with the bishop. The bishop made comments that made both Clint and I stop and think. The bishop was very complimentary toward Clint. Let me preface this with nothing the bishop said was brand new information to me....I have always known that I married an amazing man and father to my children. The bishop made statements that there is not many men who would stay home with there children to avoid putting them in day care. The bishop continued to say that Clint is making a huge sacrifice for the family. I agreed whole hardheartedly with his comments. When we got home that night, Clint made the comment to me that made me speechless...Any of you that know me know this is a feat....Clint stated "What is up with the bishop tonight, its not everyday that you find a mother that is willing to sacrifice by leaving her 2 babies at home to provide for the family". I stood there wondering how it was that I was so lucky to have a husband that truly understood how hard the current arrangement has been on me. Clint and I are partners in this thing called LIFE. There is no one else that I would rather go through this life with. Our Christmas gift this year comes in a family trip to the temple to be sealed for all time and eternity. I am grateful that I have a husband that loves our babies while I have to be out of the home. Thank you Clint for loving me and loving our babies....

All right the next gratitude goes to these ankle biters. I never imagined that being a mother would be has hard and rewarding as it has been. Bee is my dramatic clothes guru. I am constantly in awe of the mischief this little person can get into. It dawned on me the other day that Bee is probably exactly how I was at that age. Let me start by saying "sorry, mom and dad"....Mads is a happy bundle of joy. Mads is the most content baby ever. Being mom to Bee and Mads brings me so much joy! I am excited to see the young women these babies will grow into. I love you Bee and Mads!!

I know this seems week to late but...It is as true now as it was last Thursday.
