I think of that verse a lot in terms of my life with my kids. There are days where I feel completely in tune with the kind of mom I want to be. I'm all loving and patient and even fun.

Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn
