My Dad's family...The Bordes'
My Mom's (The Cutler's) Family! Barbara, Carol, Mary, Jeannie, Dodie, Joe, Diane, Billy, Tommy, Debbie, Grampie, Grammie, Kathy and Judy.
Recently I have been doing an extra amount of thinking and reflecting on life! I don't know if it's because of the new decade that I've entered, or possibly the chapter that we are closing of having children. All I know is that it has been way more difficult than I ever imagined it would be. I tell Adam daily that I completely understand now... why my mother had 6 of us and her mother had 13 and my dad's mother had 8. After we had our 2nd I thought my mom & grandmothers were crazy. I had no idea how they did more than 2 children? It seems as though daily these women pop into my thoughts and I just wanted to say how amazing they all are for baring, delivering and raising the 26 children between the 3 of them! Motherhood is such an incredible journey and I am so lucky to come from the mother & grandmothers who set beautiful examples of loving, caring & nurturing women!

I struggle with this every day! I keep thinking maybe I should have more kids...but then you have to take care of them! It's hard letting go and moving to a new chapter of life.
Oh, I think it only gets better and better the older they get!
I admire women who have many children (my grandma had 10). We knew that 2 was good for us, it just felt right in every aspect.
Why not have more??? You and Adam make adorable kids!
I totally enjoy watching them grow and feel so lucky they are strong & healthy, but I just love the little ones running around...so innocent, pure & eager to learn!
I will get through this...Adam has been super understanding (instead of thinking I'm crazy)!
We can't have more due to my kidney failure w/ Mya & Kael....I think that's the hardest part...it wasn't our decision...it was my healths...oh well! I'll live 7 enjoy the 4 blessing I do have!!!
