One thing I love about my husband is his ability to help me change my perspective when it needs to be changed. During a particularly stressful moment (don't remember exactly what was going on but I'm sure it involved whining, crying or begging) he saw the wild look in my eyes, took my shoulders and said, "This isn't crazy, it's just our life." And as simple as that sounds, it revolutionized the way that I (try) to see those stressful moments.

Yes, it's wild and loud and messy and it sometimes does feel crazy, but it's our life. Together. And I love these wild and crazy kids more than I can even think about. And I love their daddy even more.

They run circles around us (but we're in it together!) joy...
