Being a Mom

There are some things that make you a mother. The first time you hold your first baby. The sweet smiles your newborn gives you with his toothless mouth. The innocent open-mouth kisses your toddler gives you.

Then, there are the things that make you a MOM. Sharing any and every meal/snack with your children. Using your own spit to clean their face or hands. Sleeping on a corner of the bed because 2 of your 3 children are in your bed.

This weekend I engaged in a "mom" activity. I bought a mini-van. And, I have to say, it's nice to have room for all of us. Of course, convincing Blake that we don't need to watch a movie every time we get in the car may take a while.....but it's so worth it!
