- Still getting to play with Legos, Playdoh and crayons.
- Playing basketball with my teenage son (and very rarely winning).

- Jumping on the trampoline – because without my children I probably never would.
- Getting to read Narnia books again!!
- Friday movie night with my teenagers and Saturday morning cartoons with my little ones.
- Being the one my children come to when they are afraid, happy, sad, or just want to hang out.
- God using my children to show me so much about my strengths and weaknesses.
- Knowing God entrusted these beautiful people to me and understanding what an amazing honor, privilege, and responsibility that is.
- Understanding and experiencing forgiveness as it is offered to me for my bad mommy moments and as I offer it to my children for their stinker kid moments.
- Having to really think about what I believe and why so I can answer my children’s questions with wisdom and knowledge.
- Seeing God provide for and love on my children, such a joy!
- As I love on my children, I’m beginning to grasp how much my Heavenly Father loves me.

I love falling asleep cuddled up with my son.
I love waking up my son to take his medicine and he says thank you and I love you and then immediately falls right back to sleep.
I love chasing my boys around the house and hearing them squeal with excitement.
I love painting toenails with my daughter.
I love how my son says the word “what.”
I love how my daughter will eat absolutely anything.
