I have discovered over the years that there are seasons of life. There is the season of college and dating, the season of marriage, the season of working 50+ hours a week and aiming for the next promotion, and at the present moment I find myself in the season of parenting. As with the seasons we each have our favorites. For some, the barefooted days of summer is the best. For others it is the cozy, wool sweaters of winter. I think parenting is my favorite season of life to this point. The joys of parenting have FAR surpassed any expectations I had and because I am a SAHM (stay at home mom) being a parent consumes my every second of every day. I have wanted an outlet to express this joy and the gift I have been given and I think I might have found it here. If noone ever looks at this page, I really don't care. For me, it is simply a way to jot down my thoughts and feelings and reflect on my days as Parker's mom (and soon to be baby #2's mom). I feel like our days fly by and time is just running away from me. I want to slow things down and make this stage last forever. I know I can't, and so this is one way to keep it all alive.
Until recently I use to think I lived a fairly borring life with pretty much the same routine everyday. I realize now though that my life is not borring. It is a gift and one that like the seasons, will be gone one day and I will long for it again. I have this awesome responsibility and privledge to teach Parker and our daughter wonderful life lessons, to play like I am 2 again and to love like I have never loved before.
