I wonder...

I wonder how chasing bubbles never loses it's thrill. I wonder how many diapers I've changed in the last few years. I wonder how Jackson can spin in a circle so many times and not throw up. I wonder if I'll ever learn to play the piano. I wonder how a person can live their life believing there is no God. I wonder how much money I've spent at Wal-mart in my lifetime...even though I don't think I want to find out. I wonder how Bill can wake up at 4:15 am every day. I wonder what goes through Anna's head at night when she tries to fabricate the next excuse to sleep with mom and dad. I wonder how many hours a day the neighbor's dogs are wishing they were outside playing with our kids. I wonder if I'll ever take my dream vacation. I wonder how many pairs of sunglasses I have lost. I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I wonder what I'd look like if I worked out every day. I wonder how I find the time to update our blog. I wonder when (if) I will ever be debt-free. I wonder how lost people would be without cell phones. I wonder how a person could possibly write a dictionary. I wonder when Jesus is coming back. I wonder what I would change about myself if I had my life to live over. I wonder if my kids will think I'm cool when they're teenagers...probably not. Why am I writing all of this...I wonder.

there is nothing sweeter

There is truly nothing sweeter than watching your kids walk hand in hand. And it's fun to walk behind them when they do. Everyone they meet can't help but grin. I wonder if they even know they're being cute. I wonder if they know they make people smile and say, "Awww!" and "How precious!" As active as a 2 and 3 year old can be, there are the tenderest of moments that a mother will never forget.
