Home sweet home...

Never thought I'd be posting to this as much as I am, but have had an emotional day for some reason. I think it's the quiet moments when Kale is napping that I think about things the most. Not really sure why - if it's because Chad is gone this week to the farm show so I'm pondering things a lot, or if it's because I'm constantly thinking about Ana and what we will find out in Rochester at the end of September, or really what it is. One thing I do know is that I am reminded more and more every day how special my time with the kids is, and has been, while I am home with them. I watch how much Kale is changing every day and I feel so blessed to be experiencing every single minute of it with him. He is such an amazing little boy - even if he is rough and tough and is ALL boy. I even love him when he is driving me absolutely crazy! Then I look at my girls, at how much they have grown this past year, and feel so proud at who they have become and hope that I have at least had a small hand in that. They are such amazing young ladies and wonderful big sisters - Kale is so lucky to have them to look up to. I pray that all three of my kids grow up to be strong individuals and keep the wonderful sweetness that they have. One thing I hope I can at least let them know every day is how special they are to me, how much I love them, and how very proud I am of everything they do. They truly are the best parts of Chad and I and I hope that the world around them sees just how special they are. I just want to say "thank you" to Chad also for allowing me the opportunity to experience the life with my children that I am able to have. Your hard work and sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed!! Thank you everyone for allowing me to put my feelings down in print as well!!!
