Precious Moments

I feel like I have had one of the Lords precious moments. Sometimes I feel like there are special feelings that we get that we know without a doubt that the Lord knows us and the trails we experience in this life. Last night for FHE we did fathers blessings, it's always something to look forward to before the school year. Garrett did father's interviews with each one of the girls. They really loved having a one on one time with Garrett. Madalyn was cute Garrett asked the girls if there was anything they wanted him to bless them with in their blessing, she said she want to have help reading in school and learning to ride her bike. Morgan and Natalie said they didn't need any help. Sometimes it's hard to get one on one time with our kids, we have set a goal to do father's interviews the first FHE of each month. We are hoping to have a better relationship with our kids so they can feel like they can talk to us about anything.
After the kids were all done Garrett gave me a blessing. What a great experience it is the have a worthy husband to do that. I thank my Heavenly Father for him every night. In the blessing he expressed how much my Heavenly Father loved me, that he knows that motherhood is hard and a big sacrifice on my part, that I needed to enjoy motherhood. I can't describe the feelings I had, I could feel the spirit and love of Garrett and my Heavenly Father. It was one of the moments that you think I can do this with the Lords help. Life has been hard for me since Brooklyn's birth. I think it's been so hard cause I was totally out of the baby stage and all the stress and lack of sleep that comes along with that. She is getting to be a better and happier baby but I still can't get much done cause she cries every time we put her down. She is becoming a little ham, she is talking lots and loves to smile at you as long as she can see you.

I'm gonna agree with ya there... 4 is hard. It's hard to get back in that baby mode after you've been out of it for a few years, too. Too bad after the second one they don't come with a nanny! I would've used that WAY more than half the other stuff they sent home with us!
Hang in there. You are a special momma. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been sent four little beauties like yours!

Thanks for sharing that! I have to admit there were a few drops of rain on my keyboard (no NOT tears, rain:)). You're a great Mom! Even though you think you don't get much done, you are doing plenty by just taking care of your 4 sweet little girls each day (okay and Garrett, I bet he is a handful too).

I LOVE father's blessings!! So uplifting, motivating and reassuring! Madalyn looked cute for her first day of school. I think I am coming up the end of September. My kids go off track for 3 weeks. It'd be great to get together!
