Sister, I love your candidacy and humor even though sometimes you don't even realize how funny your sense of humor is to me... I think it is because we were raised the same way, and have a tendency to think alike!! As Bsh said, what wonderful treasures and tidbits you leave for the rest of us to gobble up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973235912785366868.post-39300706117899304152008-10-02T18:02:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:02:00.000-05:00Beautiful words, Mindy - sometimes, as a mother of...Beautiful words, Mindy - sometimes, as a mother of four, life gets really crazy - I am enjoying the newness of your motherhood and stepping back to take another look at mine!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740773134565352607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973235912785366868.post-21066255109652744382008-10-02T08:43:00.000-05:002008-10-02T08:43:00.000-05:00It has been such a pleasure watching you develop i...It has been such a pleasure watching you develop into a beautiful "mommy" and see your life AND priorities re-align. It is amazing to watch you guys take the first tentative steps into parenthood...and do a such a marvelous job! It gives me hope that one day I might be able to do it too...maybe. Sooo much hard work involved :)<BR/>Don't be so hard on yourself; it is the mistakes that we make and learn from that give us the character to succeed. <BR/>Children don't need their parents to be perfect; in fact, they should know that even though we have to hold ourselves to a high standard, we must also extend grace, even (and sometimes the most difficult) to ourselves for failings. <BR/>It is so beautiful to see the connection that Wilder has with both of you; you can almost visibly see the ties of love and grace and selflessness and need that bind you all together.<BR/>I love that I got to spend time with you at this momentous point in your life; I don't know very many people that have friends stretching back to toddlerhood with a lifetime of love and support in between. So special!<BR/>You are truly my sister and thus Wilder as an extension of you feels like family to me. And I am going to have a hard time not spoiling him from afar. Speaking of...my mom and I picked him up a little something from an adorable little shop. You are going to die! I still haven't bought him any britches...<BR/>Love the little tidbits and treasures...<BR/>Mwah, miss you and wish we lived next door to one another...maybe some day! (I can always dream) I have every intention of being little old ladies sitting on the front porch giggling together...<BR/>Love, love, love forever!!!!Ashlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13112147491380021182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4973235912785366868.post-65819576116780956272008-10-02T06:55:00.000-05:002008-10-02T06:55:00.000-05:00Great post!
