never thought I would be here......with five children and one more on the way in a few weeks...
but I feel more like a woman today than ever before
my life......my kids......my loves......
it's hard not to reminisce at this time right before a new baby...but man alive do I love these people...
whether they are strapped to me for a day of hiking or gardening....
or running wild in the prairie...
no matter what season...
or the number of serious school hours we put in...
or the number of art projects we create...
and all the birthdays we celebrate...
life is sweet....
and still adventurous...
but always warming...
thank you sweet husband for our "loves"
have a beautiful weekend.......
xo+blessings,

Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteIt has been awhile since I have come to visit... Oh my, you have done some beautiful posts here on this blog, but I do believe this one is my favorite. The love is flowing from the pictures, family is EVERYTHING! (Other than God of course!) I do know what you mean as far as feeling like a woman... to have your beautiful little ones by your side and being with child is such a fulfillment.
God Bless You and Your Family.
I will be praying for your upcoming birth. Breathe in those first newborn breaths, snuggle deeply.

Your family is just beautiful, Anne Marie. Our children are treasures, aren't they? They are true gifts from God.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have. I never envisioned myself being mom to six either, but I wouldn't trade it for the world, and I couldn't do it without my dear husband either.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
You have a beautiful family. The photo of them running in the fields and your son dressed like a soldier is absolutely classic! Love it (I have two boys, myself)! Great post!

Hi Laurie...
ReplyDeleteI have talked about that in the past...I think on the barn post?? I'll do a little sidebar thing that links it when I get a chance...
What a beautiful family and heart that is bursting at the seams with love for your little ones & husband! Every time I read your blog, I have this impression that the phrase, "..my cup runneth over.." applies richly to the way you have embraced what God has entrusted you with -- and live life to the full! Well done, Anne Marie - you are a treasured woman and continual inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love that pic of your kids running out to the prairie to play - and the bw family shot near the big fire place. All of these pictures are just lovely!!!
What a sweet and beautiful family your newest "love" will be born into!
