Another Mother's Day has come and gone and I am so thankful for my boys. I love them with everything in me and I hope I am doing everything right in raising them. Sometimes I feel so inadequate at this parenting thing and I feel like I am not a good mother some days. I try not to compare myself to other mothers, everyone has their own parenting style but there are times when I don't feel I do anything right. I know God knows my heart, He sees the love I have for my children and He is the only one I have to live up to. I want my children to remember their childhood fondly, remember how much mommy loved them. I want them to treat their future wives with respect and dignity. I want them to do God's will and serve Him all the days of their lives. I want them to make something out of themselves, follow their dreams. I want them to be wonderful daddies, like the daddy they have. Most importantly, I want them to be men of integrity, men after God's own heart. I have no idea where the time has gone and the memories we have made so far, are priceless. I would not trade the last 7 years of being a stay-at-home-mom for anything in this world. It does not matter what material possession I have to sacrifice for staying at home, there is no price tag on this position. Brad and I have decided that I will return to work once Jacob is in 1st grade, rather than this fall. I am so thankful that I get another year or so to be at home with my boys. I love you Jordan and Jacob and I am so proud and thankful to be your mommy!
