Each year for Valentine's Day I like to do a little something for each of the kids to let them know how much they are loved. This year we did a few decorations and they each had a book, a Valentine's Day t-shirt and a special cookie. All of their little goodies were waiting for them at the breakfast table when they woke up.
There are many days when we are struggling to manage the needs of four kids when I wonder what life would be like around here if we had stopped after we had the first two. It probably would have been a lot easier, it probably would have been a lot quieter and it certainly would not have been as expensive. But it's days like Valentine's Day that remind me that each one of my kids have been a wonderful source of fun, laughter and love! In the quiet after all the kids have fallen asleep at night I reflect on each day, wondering how in the world I survived it, but also feeling so blessed and grateful for having been privileged enough to live it!! Not everyone could handle our crazy life, but I LOVE the fact that I was given the opportunity to love these four crazy kids God gave us!
