Joy Day 3

One-on-one time with each of my kids!! HUGE blessing to be able to give each of my kids some special attention, even if it does mean a trip to speech or a well-baby checkup. I got to take my daughter out for the afternoon! Fun times!! We went to the library, the park next door, a little boutique mall for cookies and throwing coins in the fountain! Those moments brought joy today!

Joy Day 2

I have a great babysitter, my mom, who comes over to keep the kids, even early in the morning so that I can take other kiddos to appointments! That gives me (and the kids) joy! My mother-in-law is a great drive-up-from-Texas babysitter! Grateful for both of these selfless women who love my kids! What a joy it is to know that your children are cared for by loving women!

My 2012 Word

Welcome to the Joy Blog! My 2012 word is JOY! I couldn't think of a better word than JOY to sum up the one thing I want to feel, exhibit and model each day. Join me on my adventure of seeking and finding joy in those seemingly monotonous days of motherhood!

Today's Joy-Day #1

Baby boy is really starting to pull up and try to walk!! HUGE accomplishment for my little nearly 18monther! We knew he could!!
