Us.  Rolling everywhere together these days in our little trio.

I’d love to have their dad around too (he’s currently out at sea with the Navy).  Miss you Matt.  But I feel grateful to have these little buddies with whom I get to grow, learn, share and connect.  Through them I find purpose and meaning in my life, and a reason to be a better person.  I’m thankful to have a place where I matter… and I really do matter in this place.

    Love the selfies. It must be so hard to have him gone for so long but it looks like you guys are making the most of it. Love your words about having a place where you matter.

    Those are some super cute pictures of your trio. Parenting alone is hard. Mothers are always important but during this time it’s even more so when their dad is gone. Kids do really do give you more of a purpose and meaning in your life, don’t they?
