A letter to my boys on Mother's Day

Dear boys,
I know that you are too small yet to read this letter. One day you will be able to. I am so proud to be your mother. I thank God each and every day for you. You are a blessing beyond belief to me, my proudest accomplishment, and my greatest joy. I love watching you interact, learn, grow, smile and play. You make each day new, refreshing, and exhausting! I see life differently through you. I now understand simple pleasures, and living each day to the fullest. You teach me to love unconditionally. You make me strive to be a better parent, role model, and example. You teach me patience, compassion, and forgiveness. Just when I think I couldn't love 2 people more, I just do. Thank you for loving me back. Thank you for changing my life.

Brayden- I love your love of music, your energy, and your enthousiasm. I think you are the best big brother in the world. I know that having a new "addition" to the family was difficult at first but you have far surpassed my expectations. I enjoy spending time with you each and every day. You have taught me more in the past 3 years than I could have imagined. You have taught me to "stop long enough to smell the roses". You make me laugh like none other, cry like none other, and pray for you like none other. I pray that you grow into a Godly man that loves the Lord with all that He is. I pray that you find the spouse that the Lord has set aside for you and that you treat her with the love and admiration that she deserves.

Bryce- I never expected such an amazing baby. You are always happy, smiling, and laid back. I love holding you, cuddling with you, and kissing you. I eagerly anticipate hearing you in the morning... knowing that you will greet me with a warm smile holding up your hands and ready to start the day. Your personality comes out more and more each day. I also pray that you too will grow into a Godly young man with desire to serve the Lord and be the man that He has called you to be.

Your father and I love you both so much and look forward to what the Lord has in store for our family.

With love always,
Mommy
