I love having such supportive families on both my side and my husband's side. This past weekend our twins were baptized. What an awesome event. I know it is a huge sacrifice for people to travel to where we are since we don't live near either of our parents.
I never thought I would be a mom. I always wanted to be one... just never was able to imagine it. After all our problems having kids in the beginning I was starting to think it would just be us in life. Now here we are with kids old enough to be baptized. Our son is a Cub Scout!!! I always thought it was the experienced moms... the ones with their "act together" who had kids this age. Here I am with kids this age and I still feel as inept as I did when I was first married. Do we ever feel like we know what we're doing? Do we spend the rest of our lives guessing?
In truth.... mentally I still feel as goofy as I did when I was in my early 20's. Smart enough to not make the super dumb mistakes that teenagers make but not smart enough to feel comfortable just surfing through life. I seem to like the stage I just came out of better than the one I'm hacking through at the time. I guess it's easier to feel things were easier when you're not aware of all the icky details.

I've heard it said that we're really all twenty-somethings trapped in 30, 40, 50+ year old bodies. I definitely feel smarter in some areas, but not nearly as smart as I thought I would be. Especially about raising children. From what I understand you don't figure that out until you're a grandparent.
I totally agree!!!
