MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT MAY

I don't know how I fell about the month of May. Eight years ago, I thought that this month would be a great time to have a baby. You are past the winter sickness, most of the time, and you don't have to be pregnant during the hot summer months. I do not do well with heat. But as I think about it, I am not so sure I like having my kiddos b-day's in May. Two out of three of my kids were born in May. This is all planning on my part, just so you know. Celebrating in May was fine when they were younger, but now it is a little more difficult. There are just so many milestones in this month that I don't even get to soak it all in. Colton turning 5.....done with preschool....school just being done, period. Torrey turning 7....done with 1st grade. AND just wait, next year will be her biggest mile stone yet. She will be baptized. I feel like my kids grow up so much during the month of May. I know it is only going to get worse. Turning 18 and graduating from High School. All you moms that have gone through this will have to help me when it is my turn. The funny thing is, when we were trying for our third, PORTER, he should have been born right around this time too. Well, the Lord knows better. He just let us have him a little later, January, when we start recovering from Christmas. Just wanted to express my feelings. My kiddos are out for summer and I am super excited to have them around and have them playing outside after dinner with the neighbors, going to the pool and just hanging out! Woohoo!
