Mom's Letters: Our cute friends

Our cute friends

This is a post that my mom and sisters have been asking for (I hope it's okay with Greg and Melissa). Our good friends welcomed their third baby into their family this week and we are SO happy for them! The twins are some of Jakey's best friends and we loved taking care of them for a while this weekend. Melissa and I say that we are like family to each other because neither of us have family here in town! We may even have our kids call the other "auntie" to make ourselves feel better! Aren't they a cute family though? They definately have their hands full now! These pictures were taken just before they left for the hospital, while babysitting them and of the new princess whose name I am not sure of (cause I don't know that they are sure yet!)

The Curtis Family said...: She IS such a little princess. Congrats to Melissa and Greg (as if Melissa will EVER read this).

So you got a little taste of what it's like to be a mom to twins. How do you like my (and Melissa's) world?; April 23, 2008 at 4:39 PM
Jill said...: So happy Melissa baby is here. Nash and Paige are just darling, along with your little Jake! I need to go see her. Maybe this weekend when Grant is home. You are great.; April 24, 2008 at 7:09 AM

Mom's Favorite Quotes

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
