A Mother's Heart

The "sappy-ness" quota in my blog has been a bit off the charts lately and I acknowledge and apologize for that in advance.

I'm not sure why, but I have been feeling very tender the last little while about my kids growing up. I seem to be having a bit of a personal crisis about the fact that my babies are...well...no longer babies. Even Bekars, the babiest of them all, is turning into much more of a kid than a baby these days. How did this happen? For nearly twelve years, I have found my identity in being the mom of lots of tiny kids. All of this is changing and I seem to find myself feeling a little lost. What happened to all those little baby bums running around my home? They are growing up. While the majority of my heart rejoices in their new-found maturity, a small part of me is mourning the loss of my little ones. So please bear with me as I make a small tribute to my sweet kiddos. I love them so...

Haha Em,
I think not. :) Fortunately, I still have zero desire to be pregnant OR have a new baby. I just don't want the ones I have to grow up. :)
