Love

Having 2 kids as close together as Brayden and Curran are is hard. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and I can't believe how hard being a parent can be. But every day it gets easier and easier. And I feel so fortunate because they are such wonderful, healthy children. This week Curran was diagnosed with pneumonia. Seems like a big deal, right? It is and I was very upset when the doctor told me that's what she had. But it made me think of how lucky I am that that is my biggest problem right now. You hear so many stories of ill children, and for me each one I hear makes me realize how lucky I am.

These two babies are so unbelievably special. Aside from loving them as their mother, I love them for the little people they are. I love Curran's little voice. I love Brayden's little butt in his Batman underwear. I love Curran's curly hair, I love Brayden's little chubby hands. I try to revel in these moments when I truly appreciate all I have. All the rest of the nonsense means nothing when its compared to them.
