The Joys of Motherhood

~ The adoration in your 18 month old's eyes as he flies across the room to your arms.

~ The hilarity of listening to your 7 year old read knock knock jokes to you that she doesn't understand.

~ Sharing moments of genuine companionship with your 11 year old.

~ Enjoying the affection of your still-huggy 9 year old son.

~ Girl talk with your 10 year old.

~ The beauty of your 5 year old's heart shaped face - and of her lovely heart.

~ Enjoying a good laugh with your 12 year old.

Please note:  Cleaning up vomit is not on the list.  If you have a means of communicating this to my children's digestive systems, please let me know!
