Perspective
Sometimes I forget how blessed Josh and I really are. We are both healthy, have jobs that are stable, love our jobs, love each other, and have two perfect and healthy kids. Honestly, what more can anyone ask for in life? I know that I have been known to get mad at Josh for silly things that really don't matter at times, or to snap at Avery when she's acting out. Everyone does those things at times, right? An old friend recently lost her five month old son to SIDS. I went to the funeral this weekend. The service was beautiful but very sad. I hurt for them and the pain and grief they'll be dealing with for a lifetime. Going to the funeral service was a not-so-gentle reminder for me that life is a precious gift, and not one to be taken for granted. It reminded me to take a few extra minutes to snuggle my kids. No matter how difficult parenting can be at times, I am truly blessed that my kids are here with me to share in our crazy life.

What a gorgeous family, I found your blog through Sarah's Class of 2008.
Hey Liz...it's been a long while! I wrote about this in a few post back. Well, in my 'perspective' I should add. It really does make me give a little bit extra to my kids and this was another friendly reminder that I need to do just that.
