Growing up

I sure I do a "growing up" story almost monthly, but I still cannot believe how big my babies are getting. Part of me is sad, but the other part of me is loving this stage of life. The kids are emptying the dishwasher now! Wow, I think I might just survive these children after all! Ha! Something's get easier like the kids and help with chores, but something's get harder- like the emotions, the arguments, the expense ha! That's ok, I wouldn't change one thing. I am realizing that my last fee months with just M at home are coming to an end. Next year she will be in school with the big kids. Ok, can't think of that too much. Every once in a while I get a glimpse if the future... My children cooperating, planning, helping one another like little adults. Sometimes when mom gets out of the way, my children can really amaze me at how they can be a team. I so pray that somehow, someway, in all the craziness of this life they get that in what I am teaching them. I don't really know how you teach siblings to love and depend on each other... I just hope that in all the talks, lectures, examples that something will rub off. Ok guys I've gotten way of topic. I guess I just love y'all so much and as you grow--I just want you to grow closer!
