all in

yesterday started off pretty rough,

cleaned out the kid's bathroom linen closet

and was sucker punched in my mama's heart as i tossed out

mylicon

lansinoh lotion

homeopathic teething strips

desitin

i was surprised by the emotion of it, it is just stuff right?

no, it is memories.

late nights wondering

if i knew what i was doing,

the insecurity of being a mama to a person who could not communicate.

now, my people can communicate.

"mom, why are you sad?"  "well aud, we don't have anymore babies in the house." 

"but mom, you have georgia and you have US."

sucker punch #2.

she is SO RIGHT.

i have these three amazing people and they are MINE.

they talk, they laugh, they ride scooters, they play catch, they tell jokes,

they are my NOW.

so, i leave the bathroom and i resolve to be

all in.

first order of business, have some FUN

happy first birthday to this little sweetheart!

we rocked the moon jumps and celebrated
all in.

even daddy!

let spring break begin,

i am present.

i am living in this gift that God has given me

this year it is here...

instead of here...

but the livin' HERE is good.
