We recently got back from a week at Yellowstone and before that I was at girl's camp. I'll try to blog about those wonderful weeks, we'll see.
But right now in my exhausted state I'm thinking about being a mother to youngens. I wonder all the time if I'm doing what's right for them. I know that right now, when they are little, is so critical to who they will be. And I wonder if I can do anymore. There is a special kind of worn out reserved just for parents of young children. Can I read more, teach to clean more, discipline better, play more? I honestly don't know. But I try everyday. I really really do. Then I pray that the Lord will make up the difference and I hope he makes up the difference in me. Tomorrow I'll do a little more. But I'll still wonder if it's enough. Who will my children be and what will I regret the most?

We all are unsure of ourselves especially as a mother. But I think you are doing the best you can right now. No we are not perfect, we have lots of room to grow, but we are being refined. I think we all want to raise amazing children, but then they would never have the chance to know the Savior by making mistakes. I think Heavenly Father had our weaknesses in mind when he sent us our children. But you are a good mom Maggie. You have some pretty awesome kids!! As long as you are moving towards Christ, the rest will follow! Love you. We are so sad we missed you guys. I am hoping next time!
