Last night I was sitting on the living room floor folding laundry. Josie was running by playing, and she stopped and put her sweet little arms around my neck so tightly and gave me a big kiss. She didn't run off, but stayed there and hug, hug, hugged me. I burst into tears - not because I was having an emotional day, because I wasn't, but because I felt so much overwhelming love for her that it felt like it just couldn't fit in my body. I was bursting at the seams with love and it started shooting out my tear ducts. She is so sweet and loving, I feel so lucky to be loved by her.

linds..that is the cutest story!!
I have always wondered how you hold all that LOVE in your little tiny body!! I love you.oxoxsis
I read your blog all the time, Linds, and you are honestly such a tender, sweet mother. Though we were different ages, all my vicarious memories of you are of you being happy, optimistic and kind to everyone. You're still as beautiful and joyful as ever - keep up the delightfulness!
linds- so cute. I had a moment like that the other day. There is nothing more satisfying than being a mom and being trusted with these sweet souls!
Man doesn't that make all the crazy moments of motherhood worth it!!! Little girls are so sweet!!
Ahhhhh... its nice to have moments like that to remind us why we are doing all this isn't it? Hey, I'm pumped you are such a great fly baby. I swear. Where was that book when we lived on Sunnyside AVe? WE could have used a tip or two. Talk about 2 perf roomies. Neither one had one opinion about organization or cleanliness. Those were the good old days. hhhhhh
reading your posts makes me so excited. you are so tender hearted linds.....one of the many reasons why i love you so much.
(amen to court's comment on where was that book when we lived on sunnyside)
Oh, I love her. She is so sweet. Where did you get her TDF onsie? I want one in my size.
That almost made ME cry! I agree, i LOVE it when Marlee does stuff like that, totally un-solicited. It is so amazing being a mom. You really do feel like th elove you have for your kids is impossible for anyone to understand!
Paige I love it when you wear a onsie.
Ha! Obviously if we went "shopping" we went out of town. lol We went to Sioux Falls for the day. They have one more year left. They moved in 2 doors down, so now there are 5 families in the complex. Pretty fun. Although 3 are leaving us this summer!
Thank you for the compliments on parenting, I needed it! You are also an amazing MOM! It's little hugs and kisses that reminds us how sweet and innocent they really are, when they are been knotty! One of my favorite songs I listen to when I have a stressful day with my children is "Let Them Be Little" by Lonestar. Get a tissue out because you will need it. Oh and I totally bought the book "Sink Reflections" because I need some organization! Thanks!
Thats funny Tonya, I just bought it on e-bay yesterday as well. Thanks for the tip Linds!
Lindsey,
How can I be so lucky and blessed to have you to be Ben's wife, Josie's mom, and our daughter? I am so grateful for your tender heart and loving spirit.
Love You,
Kerstin
