Me - the mom of almost 5!!! I can sometimes hardly believe how lucky I am. When I was in high school, I always had 2 feelings. 1) my dad would never walk me down the aisle 2) i wouldn't be able to have children. I have always wondered if one event had to happen so that the other would? I truly believe down deep that God believed that I could handle the death of my father more so than not being able to have children. I have ALWAYS wanted children. Aunt Karen always reminds me of how many packages of Pampers that my dad bought for me and my dolls at the Homer IGA. I played with my dolls WAY past the age that most girls do. In fact, I told Ryan the very first night that I met him that I wanted 6 kids!!! Can you believe that he didn't run??? In church Sunday, Ryan looks at me and I have tears running down my face. Yes, hormones are running high! He thinks something is wrong. I am crying because I can't believe how God has blessed me with these 4 beautiful girls!!!! I am so lucky! My present from the girls was this necklace with 4 mauve beads with one blue bead for their " no name " baby brother!!! Thanks, Mom, for helping them pick out their gift! My wonderful husband also chipped in with gifts. I got beautiful roses, a candle, and a raft to float on in the pool!!! Thanks, honey!!!

Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a reward from him.
Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
Psalm 127:3-5
I know how you feel. Sometimes it's so humbling when I think about all God has given me in my children.
The necklace is precious!
Hi Tricia,
The necklace is so creative and pretty! It's one that you can wear out of the house-yeah! :) To be perfectly semetrical, you need 2 blue beads. :) :)
