I was like that with both of mine when they were so small, and I still love to hold them and snuggle them in bed (7 & 3-in 16 days!).<BR/>Yesterday in MOPS, the speaker (a wonderful woman/ mom of 6 that is part of the leadership in our group), spoke of being in the moment. She said that you'll never look back and remember that you didn't do all of the laundry or that you had cereal for dinner, you'll look back and remember the precious time that you spent with your kids. It was so touching and so encouraging, especailly when I find myself getting so caught up in the way the house looks, or if all of our clothes are ironed perfectly.<BR/>Have you heard of Fly Lady? She has some great tips that help me to stay on track with things without being consumed by them... it's made a big difference in my life! She doesn't emphasize doing things perfectly, which is what I really like about her!<BR/>I didn't mean to write a book, I just really wanted to tell you that your family is so precious! Thanks for sharing them with us!<BR/>Love the movie and my daughter cracks up during the entire thing!<BR/>Have a wonderful weekend!angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534709187598845269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-38981797185464947792008-10-03T12:36:00.000-04:002008-10-03T12:36:00.000-04:00He is so precious !He is so precious !Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392294489622061548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-9640578579961210382008-10-03T10:24:00.000-04:002008-10-03T10:24:00.000-04:00I've been reading your journal for about five mont...I've been reading your journal for about five months now, but I'll 'delurk' to say that your family is beautiful.. congratulations on your new baby and four other precious little ones! I loved seeing them all together on the bed like that. I only have two now and I'm surprised you have time to update your journal, let alone get things done around the house. Don't forget your body is still recuperating/getting back to shape too.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513308345968508725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-3848479591085682232008-10-03T09:23:00.000-04:002008-10-03T09:23:00.000-04:00Those are PERFECTION... just really touching and s...Those are PERFECTION... just really touching and sweet!

(unless Jesus comes back) btw...your new precious gift is adorable, as are all your children!! i love the way they wrinkle their forheads like that one photo!! too cute!!jo@blog-diggidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822441920980608824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-55182743448286248382008-10-02T23:20:00.000-04:002008-10-02T23:20:00.000-04:00The "smallest one" looks like his dad!

The other kids...CUTE!!!!<BR/>As for letting things go...I'm an "empty nester" and think that's REALLY the way to go...I do my floors when I can't stand them anymore. People that visit seem to think I'm a good house-keeper too. The "secret" is to keep things picked up!
