My Loves

To my Daughters,
 I have decided to start this blog for the two of you.  So many times I want to write things down so that you can read later.  I want to remember myself.  Abby you are now 6 and in Kindergarden.  Maddie you are now 3 and stay at home with me.  I have been blessed with the honor of being able to have (have had ) you both home with me during the day till preschool.  (age 3 and half)

Abby at this point you are finding your way and learning as you go.  You try so hard to be perfect at everything.  You hold yourself to such high standards.  You are very good at wanting to put your best foot fwd in all you do.  Christ does teach us to do everything at our best to glorify Him.  Try not to always be so hard on yourself.  It is ok to be wrong at times.  The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes.  We have to let the Lord pick us up when we fall.  His arms are so loving.  He will catch you when you fall.  Try not to be to hard on yourself.

You are so good with your sister.  You are so loving and kind.  Sure, you get upset with her at times and you may take a swing at her, but over all you are very mothering to her.  I love watching you be the big sister.  Maddie loves you so much and she watches everything you do.  Today she put the scary mask on just because she saw you do it yesterday.  She knew it was ok because you showed her it was.

Maddie your name means strong tower and my goodness are you STRONG.  You have a strong will you are physically STRONG.  If you and Abby get into a fight Abby will be the one to cry because you hit harder then she does.  You also love to cuddle.  You for sure have your mind set on the way things should be done and you will not deviate from that.  You also dont like for anyone to  be mad.  I was talking to my mom today (grandmommy) and she mentioned how you like to make sure no one is mad at you when you act up.

Always remember even as strong as you are there is one stronger in Jesus.  Even in those rare moments when you may feel weak He will make you strong.  If we dont have Him we arent really strong at all.

I am trying to prepare you for starting school part time in August.  You are my last baby.  I pray you will grow and love to learn.  This is going to be hard.  You are my last baby.

Both of you are answers to my prayers.  I LOVE being your mom.  I am far from perfect but I promise to ALWAYS love you both no matter what.  I promise to always strive to be a better mom to you both. Right now I am praying to be able to slow down and just enjoy you both at the ages and level you are (enjoy it even more).  I pray that through me you can see that the Lord is good, kind, patient and loving.   I pray that I will exemplify these things so that you know your heavenly father has these attributes as well.

We always pray on our way to school.  We all take turns.  When it was my turn the other day in my prayer I prayed that the Lord would help me be a better mommy.  Abby, when I was done praying you said mommy you dont have to pray that.  You are already the best mommy in the world.   You guys are so loving.  I cherish these times. I am also thankful I have  the Lord to make me the mommy you deserve every day.

With Love,
Mommy :)
