One Proud Mama

My children are my pride an joy and the most special blessing from God. I shine when they are around and when I talk about them. I am most happiest when I'm being their mom. We are the family that prays together, has dinner together, and laughs together; everyday. We have been through bumpy roads but we have managed to survive by clinging tightly to our faith and each other. They are the ones that inspire me to dream bigger and have a deeper faith.

And then there is that other side of raising teen kids. My son is going through a growth spurt so he is eating twice his weight. He is into exercising so that helps him to not gain weight. My daughter is watching what she eats. She is probably planning ahead for summer swimming fun. They are together all day and bicker like typical kids, but they can't be apart either. They like the same music, subjects, and foods. They challenge each other to see who can do better in school or who has the quickest humor. Their favorite word is mom, mom, mom, mom, mom.... you know that can be. I love catering to them but I need to start letting them do more for themselves.

They will always be my "babies" and I will always be one proud mama!
