We've been all over the place this last week -- but having lots of fun. And despite the hardest parts of my day ... the times when I just want to lock myself in the bathroom for a little bit of peace ... I'm still lovin' being a mom to these two boys.
I've said before that my video monitor is my favorite baby purchase. Let me tell you why.
Every night after I crawl in bed, I lean over to my bedside table and grab the monitor. Then, I take a look at Tanner -- my busy busy boy who has finally crashed -- and my heart fills with so much love that I think it might burst.
And then I flip the channel over to Landon's room. And I'm shocked night after night by how deeply I have fallen in love with this little person. And all I can think about is how I can't wait to see him again.
How did I get to be so blessed?

How beautiful to read....I think that's *still* the most amazing thing to me about being a Mother--the Amount of Love you have in your Heart that you never knew you were capable of before having children. And it's limitless! You think 'How could I have this much love for another child? My heart is already filled to capacity.' It's a wonderful feeling knowing our hearts can just keep growing and be so filled with Love! (and it also helps when you're going nuts and want to pull your hair out and 'momentarily' would give your kids away to the first offer!) :) :) :)
First of all, I can so relate to dinner and bath time being the hardest time of the day. ugh!! Second, I couldn't agree more that the video monitor was the best "baby" purchase ever (thank you for the recommendation, way back when!) and third...i can't wait to relate to the love you feel in being a mom of "two". I know it will be tough, but so worth it!!
PS. and can't wait to see you and your boys TOMORROW!
Your boys are so lucky to have the love of their wonderful mom (dirty kitchen floors and all!!) We are all so blessed! xo
