Happy Birthday Molly...Thank you for being mine and filling my heart and home with Joy each and everyday!  Keep on being you!!!!

Love your Momma

How can a heart so full of joy be so heavy...

The past 5 weeks have been pure bliss!!!  Janie is such a joy and brings so much happiness to this family.  Being a mother of two is a busy life however the love and joy that comes from caring for these 2 ladies is unmeasurable!!  I know that being a mother is what God created me to be....and I praise his name for giving me the ability and opportunity.  Staying home with Molly these past 2 years as been a dream. Taking a break from my career has not been difficult at all!  Not having "things" has not been a struggle either.  I never once regretted the decision and the sacrifices we have had to make to make it possible.  My dream and hope was to be able to stay home with Miss Janie as well.  Unfortunately I do not think that is in our future.  God has a plan for our lives...I know this and I working towards accepted it as well.  Having "faith" when life is the hardest is so difficult but I am determined to do so.

This is when being away from our families is the so difficult!  Today I have to complete the task of taking the girls to meet their new nanny.  Although I know this lady is an amazing nanny she isn't their mother and accepting this is so much harder than I ever imagined.  My prayer is that I can come to terms with the new direction in my life and that my heart would stop breaking.  I know women all over leave their children each day to work and that does not take away from them being a good mother....I just know my passion.  And that passion has been and always will be to stay home with my kiddos.  So to those stay at home mothers out there....give your kiddos an extra hug today and say a prayer for all those mom's who have to leave their children each day.

"Sparky" is now Jane Frances!!!

I'll post more when this whole momma of 2 gets more under control.  ;)  But for now here is our new sweetie...Jane "Janie" France June 28th 2010 7lbs 13 ounces 21 inches long!
