Well, I've had a very interesting past year since I've blogged last. We welcomed our new baby boy and I survived a whole year of being a mother of three!!! To those who understand, get my celebration. I suddenly went from taking care of two kids, with no activities to something I never saw coming. With two, we lazied around the house, they played I cleaned up after them and such was life. There was no where to go, no school or activities. Then "like a wrecking ball" I had Cooper, and my life suddenly got very crazy! My once redundant, but on my own terms, schedule of grocery shopping and "errand" running became a thing of the past. Extra curricular activities flooded in in a steady flow of Soccer games, gymnastics, football games, photography, life groups, volunteering at our church, birthday parties, lots of visiting company, and the biggest game changer, Cameron started school. I had always dreamed of doing all of those things, couldn't wait for it actually. But in my early 20's mind I imagined it quite differently. For example, I had a perfect build, 2.5 children who never misbehaved and I, much like a superhero in heels, juggled everything with perfectly applied make and smile! HA! The first thing I learned when I became a mother of two is that life is never what you expect and that became a recurring theme in my life when we welcomed Cooper.
Cooper has made me feel completely content with my family life. I no longer wish for my family of 5, it's here. I am more in love, more fulfilled and at times happier than I ever dreamed possible. I've learned that though I am not wearing heels, and my wardrobe may or may not be yesterdays outfit, I still have 3 kids who are doing great and I'm accomplishing it all in much comfier, flats.
