I just love being a mom...there is so much joy in my heart for my children. There isn't too many places that I like to go to with out my kids. Of course there are times that I am tired but I find myself ok with this feeling. For I have spent a whole day giving them my all! It is pretty amazing though that I get some quiet time at about 9:30 at night...it is almost too quite for me! I think my favorite part of the day is when I put Kendra to bed. She always wants mommy to put her to bed and usually chooses to read a Dora book. One of the Pastors at our church this weekend talked about how he watches his son's chest rise and fall and how he sees God's goodness while doing so...the same goes for me. There is something so beautiful in watching my little girl fall asleep with the comfort of knowing mommy is right there. You see I love that Kendra and Drew need me. I love that she finds confidence in knowing that I am going to be her biggest fan. I learned from my friend Donielle (my only friend in Reno-two crazy people meet and the rest is history) about attachment parenting. She is the one that supported me in many of the ways I did things and still do things with Kendra and now Drew. I read a lot of books on "how to" but found myself doing more of what came to me as a mom. There is not a single thing I would do differently except for working. We are studying our "SHAPE" at church right now and I definitely think that part of my SHAPE was to be a mom. I love that it comes so natural to me and that I embrace each day with a positive attitude and excitement for what the day will bring. I love you Drew and Kendra! I wouldn't trade my days with you for anything in the world!

Okay, so the "chest rising and falling" part brought tears to my eyes. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to know that you are being the mom that God created you to be...that you are so in tune with Kendra and Drew and that even when they are miles away they will always feel the deep connetion that was created in these first few years of their life. They are 2 very blessed children!
Love you guys!! :)
It sounds like you guys are AP. I'm Stephanie, Kerry's wife, and check your blog from time to time. We have chosen to parent naturally as well (known to most as AP) and love it.
