If I had conversation with you while I was pregnant you probably heard me talk about my fear of balancing two kids and figuring out how I could love another kiddo when I already felt as though my heart was overflowing with love with my first. Since we have added Taylor to our family I have truly understood how blessed I am. To have two healthy boys who seem to feel comfortable at home and feel protected and safe is the best feeling. Do I feel overwhelming responsibility? Absolutely (and all parents should) and the responsibility coupled with the joy of seeing Matthew and Taylor play together, David swing Taylor up in the air while showing Matthew how Taylor "flies", the times sitting on the couch reading a book to Matthew on one leg and Taylor on the other...I would say I wouldn't have it any other way.
These boys, along with David, have made me a blessed woman. I feel as though God has called me (and others) to be a wife and mother, as well as my professional roles, and because of that I seek to find purpose and meaning in all the activities that come with being those roles, both good and bad. If God calls me to it then He will be with me through it as well. I truly can see how I can love each of these men in my life individually, uniquely, and work to bring us all together under one roof and find a place of safety, fun and commitment. Of course, their great smiles, jokes, and sweet natures really make it pretty easy for me to do that!
