The letter F........Family

I got this from my cousin Jennifer's blog and she got it from http://thisfamilyof4.blogspot.com/. It's such a great idea. You should go check it out. This week the letter is F.

At the risk of copying Jenn, (sorry) I have to say the letter F stands for family for me too! They are my life! My kids and my Husband mean the world to me. They are my entire world.

Back when Josh was little, I worked full time and we were on our own. He was my family. Once I met my Husband our family grew and changed for the better. Now, once the babies were born, wow....that really changed everything. It changed how I looked at life. My new goal was to be the best Mom and Wife I could be. I didn't have to worry about work anymore (thanks Babe), I could just put all my effort towards my kids.

I actually wanted to have more children because I didn't want Joshua to ever be alone. My Cousin Ricky had a big family and all the kids had each other. I admired that and wanted that for myself growing up. My Husband also has a somewhat large family, so mine grew that way once we got married.

So my Husband and I decided to go for it and have kids. We weren't counting on 3, but thank God for those 3. They have completed our family! And I really have been working on looking at those little moments, those little things that make kids and family all worth it. I'm not going to lie, it's hard sometimes. I tend to get caught up in the day to day. But i'm working on it! And participating in the Alphabitty Moments makes it a whole lot easier!This is a WAY old picture....but I think this is the only one of all of us together. So just imagine 2yr olds sitting on our laps. Hehe!
