FaMiLy PiCtUrEs

My birthday was on September 5, And the best birthday present I could ever get, is pictures of my darling little family. Our cousin Glenn, who is an amazing photographer, did them for us. I love how they turned out. Also, James and I did the editing on them, so we got to make them look the way we wanted, which was fun.

Every time I look at pictures of my family, I feel more and more blessed. I am such a lucky girl to have a wonderful husband who loves me for me and four amazing children. Life really is so great. And I need to remember that. Some days can be so challenging for me as a mother with a disability. I can be so hard on myself and I let things get to me too easily that really don't matter that much. I am constantly worrying about what others think, and I need to STOP it. I am loved by who matter the most to me in my life and that is what's so important. I feel so honored to be a mother, even though it's challenging at times, and I would love to have more!

James and I have actually been trying for awhile now. It's starting to get hard again. I know I have been blessed with four children, but we feel like there are more to come. And for some reason it takes a long time for me to get pregnant. Right now, I am dealing with a golf ball sized cyst on my right ovary, which hasn't been very fun. It's been pretty painful. And my endometriosis is getting bad again, unfortunately. But, I know that Our Heavenly Father is in charge and I have faith that things will work out when it's the right time.

So, when I get down about things, I just look at pictures of my sweet family. Then all my worries just seem to fade away. I love them so much and I KNOW they love me too.
