Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's day never used to feel like much besides recognizing the wonderful mothers that raised me (which is extremely admirable!)... But I never fully appreciated it as a mother... Well that changed 5 years ago and then just a few years ago, the day took on a whole new meaning when we went from 1 to 4 kids! As crazy as life is, I try to take time to reflect on where we are and how amazing our kids are... Because they are.

They are strong, smart, kind, tough, opinionated, quick, funny, inquisitive, creative, loving, shy, outgoing, curious, sisters, brother, and family. Declan is such a good big brother - yes, there are times where he is jealous, doesn't like his sisters messing with his stuff and is a bit wild. But he loves his sisters even more than he knows... He loves making them laugh (sometimes making them cry), loves it when they copy what he's doing, loves hugging and kissing them and loves playing with them. And they adore him even more. I can't wait to see their bond and friendship grow over the years.  The girls... What can I say. They amaze me every single day. The fact that they were between 1 pound 3 ounces and 1 pound 11 ounces and they are crazy, running and talking toddlers now is amazing in itself. I know they will do great things in life, I have no doubt based on what they have already accomplished in the 2 short years of their life... Although some days I want to push fast forward to when the kids are all out of the house, a large part of me wants to push pause and slow it down because it's just going way to fast.

I'm lucky, privileged and blessed to call these kids mine and I cherish the title that being their mother carries...
