don't worry. i really am a good mom...

mothering is a tough job.  

i've never had a job i would consider harder.

every single day that passes by, i count my blessings and would rather be no other place than right here with my sweet ones.   i want to capture these precious moments forever, as i could think of nothing better.

but, that doesn't mean that there aren't lots of days that i feel defeated by the end of the day.  

or spend the better part of the day questioning how i handled each situation that arose.  

some days i just wonder if i am doing ok.

this video and lily's following statement assured me that i am doing an impeccable job... :)

a few weeks ago, lily said to me:
"mama, i am going to run to the bathroom.  can you keep an eye on finn for me?"

yes, sweet lily.  i can.  (i think i might be giving her too much responsibility?!)

and then this...



(of course i cannot capture any of the adorable moments of film, but i manage to get that!)


but oh how i adore mothering...

Oh my gosh....I laughed because we have ALL been there! I remember I sat Jacob on the coach when he was a baby and he totally fell off head first..I was hysterical!

We laugh so hard every time we watch it. Sorry :). So priceless to have that on video.

You are an AMAZING Mom Courtney :)
