Double Wide November 5, 2009, at 11:42 pm | One thing motherhood has taught me: How to get my priorities straight.
All these years I’ve been trying to lose weight and minimize the size of my thighs. But now that both girls love to plop down into my lap at the same time when I’m sitting on the floor, I wouldn’t mind a little more girth. More thighs = more room for the girls to sit side-by-side. As the girls get bigger and bigger, I’ll just get wider and wider!
(Motherhood has also taught me how to justify eating half a bag of tortilla chips in one sitting. Now if only I could come up with a reason for being in my pajamas at two o’clock this afternoon…)

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!

Emily,
You just stay in those pajamas all day and enjoy every minute with your girls, because you’ll be able to look back and not regret that you didn’t take the time while you could. They really do grow up fast (I know I sound like my mother and probably yours too, but I have learned something, all these years later…My mother was/is right). L, Annemarie
I recognize that shirt!!! It’s from the pre-frosh weekend 🙂 What a fun weekend… even though now it seems decades and decades away… and it’s only one decade away. Probably close to the day… my how things change 🙂
