November 6

It's Wednesday so Brady and I had our customary outing to the Mother Ship this morning.

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the event, but it made me realize --for the umpteenth time-- that I am blessed to be his mom; that I'm blessed to be Abby's mom and Isaac's mom and Logan's mom, too.

Parenthood certainly has its difficulties, but the benefits of watching your children grow and mature over time --no matter how long or short that span may be-- far outweigh the challenges.
