Yes, "In Love." I'm in love with my life. This morning, I've enjoyed a kiss from my husband, hugs from my children, and the sounds of them playing together. Of course, the getting along was short lived, as usual. But even in the middle of the kids arguing over toys or what channel to watch, I'm in love.
I woke up next to my wonderful husband, Tim. God sent him to me during a dark time in my life. Through Tim's love, I've rediscovered the love God has for me. Tim is my best friend. He is the home I've always wanted and the love I've always needed. He's the father of my children and our earthly provider. He works hard to make a life where I can stay home and raise our children.
My beautiful daughter, KK, is becoming a "tween" and coming into her own way of doing things. Her independence is amazing. She is brave, strong, and confident. All the things I wanted to be in my own childhood, I see in her.
My handsome son, Ave, will be 7 in a couple of weeks. He is loving and strong. His ability to see beautiful things in everyday happenings is beyond my understanding. Just yesterday, he looked at me and said, "Mommy your glasses look like butterflies on your face. It's really pretty." Who would have thought glasses could look like butterflies?
My precious son, Kaden. The child God gave me twice. Once in birth and again when his heart was healed. I see God's many promises fulfilled in his life. Kaden is bold, daring, and a fighter. His strength goes beyond his years and his laughter is one of the highlights of my day.
In my family and home, I find God's abundant love. I'm in love with my family and the ebb and flow of daily life being a wife and mother.
My life as a wife and mother

Your post hits home with me. I have days where I fall in love with my family, husband, kids and life in general all over again. It's almost as though God knows we need to see things through new lenses and so he shows us again how WONDERFUL our blessed lives are!
I too was handed my husband in a VERY dark period in my life...one where I had stopped trusting ANYONE! To this day he remains my best friend, and he taught me to trust and not be afraid of those who say they love you!
I see in Kels what you see in Kk, the brave, confident child I never was...
And Avery --- oh be still my heart -- butterflies --- the eyes and heart of a child! If only we could see so simply!
Kaden - I love the words you used to describe him - his personality ECHOES loudly those very attributes.
Oh sometimes our lives parallel one another in a very eerie way...I love your heart. You pour so freely into your writing!
HUGS my sweet friend....and enjoy this blessed life you have been handed. TO THE FULLEST!!! :)
