Dedicated to my kids...

Today is Mother's Day. I got a book from Deric and the girls.

Something cute River said the other day:

I gave her some of my homemade applesauce and she asked for more saying, "Mommy, can I have some more apple sugar?" :)

We went into her bedroom the other night and Moss had murdered a robin in there. It was a major mess...blood and feathers EVERYWHERE. The bad thing was I didn't notice until we were both fully in the room. Then I told River to come with me quickly, she was freaking out a little. Poor thing. We evacuated and went up the stairs. Deric, hearing all the commotion asked us, "Is it really that bad?" River said as concerned as can be, "Yes Daddy, it's really that bad!" It took us half an hour to clean everything up. Yuck.

Molly is adoring "running around" on the couch. She climbs all over it and goes head-first off the side onto the pillows on the floor. (that we put there for safety purposes) She could just do that for hours! It's too cute!

I had an impression the other day that Molly might just have a special purpose in this life. Like a mission. I don't know what exactly, but I just distinctly felt that when I looked at her the other day being so sweet and loving. She is a true sweetheart.

I love my kids, they are the greatest joy I could have ever been given. I hope to always love them as deeply as I do now, and deeper. I bore my testimony today that though Mothers tend to be down on themselves and never feel like they are doing enough they shouldn't worry. Because I know one thing is for sure, Christ loves us, and he would never be so cruel as to expect us to be perfect. I know that. If that's all I ever know, it is enough.

Happy Mother's Day all!
