Yesterday we had Lincoln's blessing during church and my heart was so full of joy! I spent time reflecting over the past year. I remember the sadness I felt with my miscarriage then going to the temple and knowing Lincoln was ready to come down. I felt him so strong that I told Jake it was time to try again. Then I got pregnant and was ready to have a normal pregnancy. I have no idea why Heavenly Father decided to let me go through all of the complications that I had. I dealt with a rare blood disease, gestational diabetes, and almost daily Dr. appointments. Fortunately, Heavenly Father gave me the greatest gift early on and told me that "all would be well" and that Lincoln "would be healthy and strong". So I knew it would work out. Now I look at my sweet baby and I am so grateful that Lincoln is in our family.I may not be the greatest Mom but I can promise I will always love my babies unconditionally. I may not have all these super creative ideas on crafts and games but I will always play with them and let them have fun!
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for my three healthy babies. I know being a Mom is the greatest gift that someone on this life can ask for and I have been given 3 gifts. I hope my kids will see how much Jake and I love the Savior. Most importantly I hope they see that we follow our Savior's example and not just talk about how we should do it.

You ARE such a great mom! Anyone who knows you or reads your blog definitely knows that! p.s. your kids are so cute! Lincoln is so chubby and yummy! Love it!
Sadly this afternoon made me realize how little patience I have for my kids. Yelling and time outs was happening at a fast pace.
Laura and Jake,
He is so adorable. I am so pleased that I was there as I was visiting Bonnie. You are a great Mom Laura and your kids are just beautiful. I am sure that they will see what great examples that you both are. Congratulations!
Love,

He us a doll. I would have been there if I'd known you were blessing him!
