growing pains

I grew up in a world where all of my friends had both of their parents, married, and it was sort of taboo otherwise...so raising a mixed family is really new to me and sometimes challenging. My "step"daughter is 10 years old and here from Canada on her spring break from school. Its really great to see her and my son get along well and shes a great helper. Robert really loves her and I am sure she is way more entertaining than I will ever be!!

I really love being a mom, and can't wait to have more children. I'd love to have a big old house with lots of kids running around!! Hopefully when we move from California in a few years it will be more affordable and we can expand our little family. Theres really nothing better than being surrounded by those you love.

Robert is growing so fast and it makes me sad that my baby is not such a little baby anymore. bittersweet.
