Our current ages - 31, 30, 5, 2 and 2. What an exciting time in our lives! I think I've been saying life is CRAZY for about two and a half years now. Basically the day Walt and Whitney were born was the day our lives changed for the better and busier. I'm thankful my friend, Jessica Rockowitz, was able to capture this stage of our lives.

Our lives are full of tears, laughter, stress, and love. Parents, you know what I'm talking about. I do my best as Mom to do what I can, but at the end of the day I try not to stress too much about the little things. I can only dedicate so much mental energy to worrying and feeling guilty.

Something I don't take for granted after losing my dad is good health. I'm EXTREMELY grateful my family is healthy. I pray for health and safety daily, as it could all change in an instant. We have a roof over our heads, jobs that help us to provide for our family and save for our future, and friends and family that stand by us in the good times and bad.

Today I'm stopping to be present in the moment and remember this wonderful and exhausting stage of life. It won't be long till my kids are the ones having kids and I'll be the grandparent...ahhh!
