Jaden is my step-son and I have been apart of his life since he was 8 months old. Jaden is joyful, thoughtful, very smart. He remembers things after hearing them once and loves the other kids fiercely. Step-parenting is difficult and can be stressful but we have found our way slowly. I have discovered I am capable of a lot more than I thought.
Jake is my hero. He truly is a heroic boy. He captures the essence of "big brother". He never hesitates to help put on shoes or to carry things up the stairs for his little siblings. He is sensitive, generous and so very kind.
Liam is smart! Damn smart! He spends his time reading researching and building. He is a thinker and an academic. He startles me with his intellect and witty conversation. He is also sensitive and loving. Thrives with routine and expectations.
My only girl. My little baby-girl. I was unsure with the trauma of my life who this little person would become. She is bossy, independent and has her own opinion on everything. She is sweet and could sell an Eskimo a refrigerator. She is angelic.
I wish I could capture each moment of their lives. I love that they are such amazing little people!

SO true! I think when I refer to someone as a 'good' mom.... it's the way a parent speaks about their children that says it all... the tone in their voice, the light in their eyes....! My children light up my life! I love hearing you talk about your children... the tone in your voice and the light in your eyes!
This is an inspiring tribute to your children and it speaks volumes about your capacities as a mother. Very nicely written!
okay, i wrote you a really long comment to this post a while ago and it's not here! :(
i basically said, that i started reading your blog when you were going through your divorce and the breakup of your family. you were so hurt and tortured that all i wanted to do was reach out and hug you and tell you that everything would be all right in time.
and now it is. and it's so wonderful to see you so happy and at peace. you're an awesome mother. every post, every pic you share is a testament to that.
you are such an amazing woman. you've made a complete 360 from the steph i first "met" through this blog. you are so strong and brave. don't ever forget that.
i truly believe that everything does happen for a reason. if nothing else, we go through the incredible hard and painful times so that we can appreciate the good times all that much more.
you are truly blessed. and your family is blessed to have you.
:) kt
