I know that I have become a huge worry-wart since becoming a mom because I had to start taking anti-anxiety meds during my pregnancy with Abby! I liked them so much that I just stayed on them. :) I can't believe how big your kids are. I am checking the status on Alpine every time I get the chance. My mom said your mom is going up there soon, you will have to let me know how it is!
:-o the older I get, the more afraid I am to start. You're very brave! Your kiddos are super cute; I know they'll do very well in life!
I couldn't have said it better myself! :) There's nothing better in the world than being a mom despite some of the not-so-fun aspects. Thanks for sharing that; it's nice to hear someone on the same page. :) I missed your last post but those cinnamon rolls were so delicious, thanks again! And I hope your cabin is doing well!
