I love having three kids. I love having a seven year old that I can have a quiet morning getting him off to school when we can talk about who he is going to sit by that day at lunch. I love the way my boys adore their sister and the way Hunter sat by her for 45 minutes just stroking her head because she has been sick with the flu for four days now and then showing me exactly how it's done so i don't do it wrong. I love that I get to stay home with Ben and vote for which Bionicle man I want to win the fight and that we can take the time to make french toast together. I am already getting sad that this is my last year for him to be all mine. (some days I am glad that I will get to share him) I'm glad that I can sit and hold Emma for four days straight and not do much else and know that somehow my house will be clean and ready for the 25 people coming over for thanksgiving. I know my husband will help me and we will rush around but it will be clean for the party. I hope Emma wakes up in her own bed tomorrow morning and her fever is gone and I can have my funny girl back. I love having three kids.

Hi Julia,
I love that you will sit and hold your sick little one for four days and not run around like a mad woman trying to straighten up for family to come over...who, by the way, don't really care if the house is spotless. (You know that we just mess it up the moment we all get there anyway!) You are supermom to me, and I hope I'm a little more like you when I grow up. Thanks for letting us come over on Thursday...I'll even help you clean if you need it!
Julia!! I was so excited to see your comment...Let me just say that you are an amazing mother! I admire you so much for your optimism...in reading your blog you speak so highly of your children and see the love they have for each other at such young ages...many people do not recognize these things in their own children. Hunter, Ben and Emma are so lucky to have you as a mom...You are such a great example!
