Mornings
Mornings are pretty hectic around these parts. After making morning diaper rounds, getting everybody fed and putting Micah down for his a.m. nap, I'm pretty much spent (and it's only about 9:30). Sometimes I get feeling pretty down in the dumps as Jared heads out for work, wondering how I'm going to get through the next 10 or so hours until he gets home. I think what gets to me most, is the feeling of isolation and loneliness I feel during the day. It would be nice to have a partner in crime who didn't still poop his pants. I don't think I'm the only mom who feels this way, but I feel extremely guilty about it anyway.
Eek. Sorry about the rant. What I really intended to talk about was the magical 20 minutes I get, first thing in the morning. That beautiful time where I gather my babies into bed with me and we snuggle and laugh and get ready for the day ahead.
These happy faces get my tired butt out of bed, even when I could sleep another three hours. Fleeting moments like these really do remind me of what a lucky mama I am.

Jamie...I remember well what it was like to be raising little babies away from the help of home and family and feeling all alone. It's not an easy job and I admire you for getting out of bed every day and doing what you do. I know how hard it can be. And how rewarding. ;) Hang in there and make sure you get some time for yourself in there somewhere and for date night. Do you have someone you can call to babysit? I hope so! Church and friends are even more important when you're away from family...they become your family. I hope you have that to help you out!
Those two kiddos are pretty stinking cute! Love you Jamma and admire you, you are a great mom to those kiddos!
Cute little rabbits.
