Here we are. The girls are 3 years old and I can hardly believe it. That is the crazy thing about being a mom. Seeing these ladies grow day by day makes it hard to tell how big they are. Whenever I happen to see a picture of them one or two years ago, I am blown away and how much they can do now, compared to before. I tend to focus on all the things they are getting into and how often they are fighting and not-so-much on the positives, but these ladies are truly amazing. I fill my pinterest quote board with sayings I find about "babies don't keep" and "sticky floors mean good experiences" and the like to keep my sanity semi-in-check.

The daffodils are in bloom! Yay! I have a few pictures from about 6 weeks ago, but I can't get my most recent pictures to show up on the blogger thing to put them on the post, so they will have to wait. The most exciting recent happening in our family is Mr. L learning to ride a bike with no training wheels.

He had a birthday, which I will have to post some pics of :) Also, I was called as Assistant Camp Director, which I am super-excited about and I started teaching a Tuesday, Thursday Preschool class from a couple weeks ago until the end of May. I am thinking about teaching T/TH preschool in the fall. This is getting my feet wet to...

Sometimes when my three children are sleeping I have these moments of tenderness that often can't be found during the crazy hectic day of mothering these three busy kids. Right now I am feeling that. Yes, it is tough. Yes, I get frustrated. Yes, I am not perfect. Yes, there are things I don't get done. But sometimes, when I have a moment to glance and pictures of these sweet smiles and think, someday I will miss this. That helps me make it through the mostly crazy days. Inspired by a blogpost that Chelece sent me that is floating around facebook and the blogosphere. Read it if you haven't :)  Drops of Awesome And I have a new nephew. I am loving that.
