Summer has brought so many good times, I love watching you kids play together. You are so close, rarely fight and just love getting lost in the games of imagination that Julia creates for you. We have been so busy, from camping every few weeks, boating and swimteam to visiting grandma and playing with friends. I’m trying to spend as much time with you kids as possible, work brings such satisfaction yet so much guilt. When I’m with you, I feel stress as I know there are things that need to be done for work and when I’m working, I want so desperately to be with you kids. Guilt and stress – they go together, it’s this heavy weight that looms. I know it serves no purpose, how does one get rid of the constant weight that bears down from just needing to be both a mom and run a business…
Sean my love lost his two front teeth this week, he’s such a doll, sweet to the core. I love that all my children are so affectionate, so snuggly and still want me all the time. Julia – a swimmer – who knew?! She has such a great attitude on life, she lives for friends and is such a leader. Kristina, my baby, you need mommy time and I’m giving you as much as I can. You are quite the swimmer, learning the crawl, backstroke and swimming like a fish underwater. You claim to be the best swinger in the world as you can swing higher than any kid on the planet.
