Three

"THREE" Today is Candace's 3 month birthday. It's hard to believe that she is already that old. This morning I came in from watering the flowers to find Alex snuggling Candace singing " I am a Child of God" and Candace was coo-ing along, as if she knew the song. It was so sweet and made me smile. Why are these precious moments so far and few between or am I just rushing through them. I love being a mother of 3 girls but why is it so hard sometimes. I have never felt this unstable in my life! I am pretty sure I yell more, cry more, and have less patience. (tearing up as I am admitting this) Everyone says that 3 is the hardest and that it doesn't get worse, but not better. So I guess I better get used to my 3 girls, 3 minute showers, 3 loads of laundry a day, 3 times a week I get to check my email, 3 heads of hair to do everyday, 3 times I have to run back in the house because I have forgotten something, 3 times I get to sing the same song, 3 sets of hugs and kisses before bed, 3 moments to ponder how blessed I am.

That was such a sweet post! I'm sorry you are having a tough time, but it sounds like you are appreciating the good times, too!

You summed that up perfectly! Life can be overbearing, but remember we are only given as much as we can handle. Your girls are precious...I love the picture they remind me of three sweet little angels. Send them over anytime you need a break! Our kids play well together! Hang in there, it does get better I promise!

You're such an amazing mom, Aubrey. I just love, love, love your girls! I'm headed to Lovell on Sunday, hope to see you guys then.

That was sweet! We truly are blessed to be mothers, but yes it is hard sometimes, you're not alone on that one. You're great Aubrey!

I love the "Three" title of your essay. Three x the blessings is right! What cute pictures - this blogging thing lacks one thing - and that is the ability to reach out and give those kids a squeeze, so give them one for me, ok? Love, Aunt Sandy
