Angel Babies
I find myself complaining about the "joys" of motherhood far too often lately. I tend to over look the sweet and wonderful things that happen everyday because the house is a mess 15 minutes after I clean it, there is always laundry to be done and I can't think of what to make for dinner. I forget about the proud look on Evan's face when he wrote his name all by himself, and the unsteady but determined steps Dallin took to find me in the kitchen. The snuggle time I got with Evan and the sweet hug that Dallin always gives me when he just wakes up. I forget the way Evan's eyes twinkle when he smiles at me and the goofy faces that Dallin makes just to hear me laugh. I forget how much I miss them when I am away from them and how much I love to watch their sweet faces when they sleep. I love being a mom and I am so blessed to have a husband who will do everything within his power to make sure that I get to be home with them and not miss a single moment of these early years. I don't want to look back 20 years from now and wish that I had taken more time to read books with Evan or play ball with Dallin. So I'm recommitting myself this Sunday to take more time to enjoy my baby boys because they will be gone before I know it.

such precious boys!
I think it is a daily struggle to not lose the good in the figurative pile of mundane chores (or the literal pile of laundry) that come with being a mom.
Bethany, you're one of the sweetest moms I know. I'm glad you and Matthew prioritize staying home with your kids, too. xo
You managed them like a champ on Sunday having to be the "single parent". Good to always remind yourself of the upsides!
Your comments hit home with me. I think we have to take these moments with them...they wont fit on our laps soon enough! :)

First of all, I love the fish face. Second, those two boys are so lucky to have such a sweet mom, who also happens to be so cool! I love you, Bethany!
