Life Happens No Matter What

Life these days.  It's void of many pictures.  Mainly because I've been lazy.  I've been through a personal battle here lately.  A funk that I'm slowly pulling myself out of.  No pictures also because I have three wonderful children who run at the sight of any camera or phone.  Can I get a amen?  

But life continues, right?  With or without pictures.  Gasp!  I never thought those words would come out of my mouth.  Kid1 and Kid2 had an abundance of pictures of our everyday up until Kid1 was 5 and Kid2 was 3.  Now our days consist of lots of Mickey Mouse.  Indoor and outdoor tricycle riding.  Yogurt.  Bananas.  And mashed potatoes.  And wondering how in the world I forgot what it's like to have a 2 year old in my presence.  It's been a while.  Nothing on this earth could prepare anyone to be the parent of a toddler.  It's the best and the worst all rolled into one.  The messes.  The tantrums.  The food throwing.  Teeth clinching.  Poop smearing. 

But I can't imagine this life without Kid3 around.  And now "mama.  mama.  mama.  mama." - I'm being beckoned in true 2-year-old fashion.
