What a blessing it is to be a mother! I don’t always realize it, but today was a day that reminded me how blessed I really am.

Today I took my kids to visit a dear friend who just had baby #3. We brought a meal and a few little gifts to them. There were 5 children including the newborn there. The kids have known each other since birth. Our oldest girls are 6 months apart and our second children, her son and my daughter, are also 6 months apart. I am grateful that we have friends who we have known for so long! The children played so nicely together. They were truly happy to see one another and excited to exchange gifts.

Since my family had a costume party to go to, we decided to dress all of the kids in their Halloween costumes to take pictures of them. There were 3 princesses, a fireman, and a strawberry. They were adorable! It is moments like these that I am amazed by the gift of motherhood.

There were 5 happy children sharing one of life’s moments with each other. We as the moms are blessed to share the moment with them, too. What a gift!
