Despite the expected daily struggles that accompany motherhood, I wouldn't trade my role as "mom" for anything. These three children have brought me so much joy. Every day I'm treated with some random cute moment or act of kindness. Sweet moments like those make all the frustration melt away.
Branson wanted to show off his new sandals.
That made Natalya want to show off hers.
Branson and Natalya wanted me to put Irelynn in the blocks bucket. She fits!
And this is my favorite picture.
Today I was laying on the couch while holding a sleeping Irelynn. Natalya really wanted me to play with her, but I informed her that I was sick from some food that I had eaten. (I will never go to Mimi's again - food poisoning.) After thinking about that for a minute, she ran to the backyard and brought me back a flower she had picked. "To make you feel better, Mommy," she said. Then, of course, Branson wanted to do the same. They put them in tiny tea cups by the window, "so they can get some sun."
They make me so happy.

I love that! You have such sweet, adorable kids! And I agree - being a mom is hard at times, but those cute times definitely out-weigh the bad times.
Branson looks like a little stud, and Natalya looks like she could be a model, all sassy with her hand on her hip. I can't believe how old your kids are. Hope you're feeling better.
That is so sweet that they wanted you to feel better! Natalya looks like a model in her picture.
