How I adore my girls! (Most of the time) I can't get over how much joy they bring into my life. I feel like the harvest comes pretty quickly with children in some ways. For me, the tiny baby phase (til about 6 months) is like weeding the garden. It just has to be done. Sure there are enjoyable moments here and there, but for the most part, for me, it's just a whole lot of work (can you tell I didn't enjoy gardening as kid/teenager? I have yet to plant my own garden, so I may change my tune soon...) But then, late summer hits and you kind of get overwhelmed with all the bounty. Having more zucchini or apples or tomatoes than you know what to do with is a good problem. I'm salivating right now remembering how good our apples were this fall, how amazing fresh zucchini lasagna is or my sister's fresh bruschetta is. I kind of feel that way about my kids right now. They make me salivate ;-)

I feel the same way about newborns, and since I'm getting one in just over 3 weeks, I'm getting nervous for the coming months! But the reminder that it's worth it is nice. My Katie gives me that too, but still, it's nice to know I'm not the only mom who feels that way.
And, oddly enough, even though I struggle being a mom to a newborn, I always liked to weed . . .
Such cute pictures! You have such sweet little girls!
