A Not so Happy New Year

Danika and Finn ...

My sweet babies :) I love you so much. The way you wake up each morning with a smile, and end each day with a head on my shoulder and I love you Momma. You make my whole world light up with love, laughter and joy.

I try so hard to be the best mom I can for you. I admit, sometimes I am lazy, or flat out exhausted. Part of being a good mom means being a loving wife, and I failed in that area today. You witnessed me screaming at Daddy and throwing presents back at him. I am not proud of my actions. I hurt you by my words and actions and I am so sorry.

You witness mommy and daddy fighting ALOT. I want you to know that you are never the cause of our arguments - it's always between mommy and daddy and usually about silly stuff. I am sorry that you have to see it and be a part of it. My wish for you is that you witness a loving marriage that exemplifies the love Christ has for His church ... a man and woman who treat each other as if Jesus were right in the middle, because He is. Right now, mommy and daddy don't do that for you and my heart aches because of it.

I want you both so badly to grow up and find someone who loves you deeply and endlessly (though I'd love to keep you little and all mine forever....). I hope you can learn what love is and is not from examples in our marriage, but more importantly from our God.

I love you both so very much .... you make my heart smile day in and day out.

Love you forever,
Momma <3
