Life with 3 kids

okay this is maily for journaling purposes, but I am feeling a bit mushy about my munchkins!!!
A lot of people have asked me lately, "how is life with 3 kids?" I must say, it is a blessing in EVERY sense of the word. I am not sure why, but having a third child has been AWESOME. It was actually easier for me to go from having 2-3 kids than going from 1-2. I absolutely LOVE being a mom and I am so excited about how crazy, loud, chaotic, and busy our lives are, and will be for the next 20 years!!! I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by, and even though I am very tired a lot of the time, it is a happy and content sort of tired. Isabel is stiiiiiiil (notice the extra I's for emphasis, and you can imagine me drawing the word out in my southern twang to get my point across!!!) not sleeping through the night, and Travis and I are very ready for her to start soon! We know that she will... EVENTUALLY, and that is helping us see the light at the end of the tunnel. Watching Julie and Logan play has brought tears to my eyes lately. They are SO sweet and have gotten a lot better at not fighting as much. I know I mentioned in an earlier post that I have cried and cried about Julie turning 5 years old, but it has really helped me to cherish my sweet children even more, because when she starts "real school" in the fall, I know it will never quite be the same. ***Sniff***
I am also so thankful that Travis' parents and my parents all live so close to us, because I feel like my children will be blessed even more having such a positive and wonderful influence on a constant basis. Can you just imagine all the love?!! And the free babysitting and lots of memories being made with their grandparents is the BEST!!! We are truly blessed and thankful that God has let us "borrow" these sweet angels!
