Children, they are a blessing!  Anyone that has children, I am sure would agree. Each day I look at my girls and thank God they are part of my family. They always keep my on my toes and bring much laughter to our household. As I finally sit down tonight (or should I say morning now), I hear Leah crying as she is finding another cozy spot in her  bed, and Cele coughing like there is no tomorrow.

It was a long week without the girls in the household. As both Rob and I missed them dearly, we also had some time to bond with each other. It was great spending some quality time together, focusing on each other.

As the weekend neared, I made plans to pick up the girls and planned some family time. It is the start of Spring! As you can see by the pictures we did some planting…                                             

Along with some much needed play time of riding bikes and taking walks.

It may not always be easy being a mother, I am sure I am still learning and growing, but I would not change it for the world.  I am thankful for each moment I spend with my family. The joys.  The sorrows. The good times and the bad. My path to the eternal Father was never said to be easy, but know I can always call out for help. I will not be handed anything I can not handle.

With that I leave you with this…

I Won’t Back Down- By Tom Petty

Well I won’t back down, no I won’t back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won’t back down

Gonna stand my ground, won’t be turned around
And I’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down.

Well I know what’s right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin’ me around
But I’ll stand my ground and I won’t back down

Hey baby there ain’t no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won’t back down
No, I won’t back down
