Sometimes I look at my kids and just ache with how cute they are. I can't believe that they're really mine and I'm really their mommy. I can't believe I'm ANYBODY's mommy.
I love days like this when life is just simple. Carmen and I walked Olivia to preschool this morning, then came home and did errands and played for a while. We went and visited with friends at a sewing group. We picked up Olivia, came home and ate lunch. Then Carmen napped while Olivia helped me pin and cut out a maternity dress pattern (I need something new for these last 2 months). I took a break and made some dough for our dinner of Czech fruit dumplings (I'm determined to perfect my recipe). Now Carmen's up and the girls are pretending to change doll diapers upstairs. The weather is beautiful and we're probably going to go play outside while we wait for Steven to get home.
This is the life I always, always wanted, and I'm really thankful for it.

Love days like that! Happy for you!
I liked this post. It's the ordinary days that are so great I think.
Awwww, this makes me so happy for you, Amber!!! I was just thinking recently of the conversation we had at your hotel room when you were in town on business, pre-wedding. It's been so fun to watch your darling lil' family grow, thanks to the blogosphere. I'm so happy you're living the dream!
