They both live life of state from me. She is the driving force on picking out Mother's Day & birthday gifts for me. She talks to her brother about it & he transfers $$ to her & she orders! Typical man he hates shopping!

I always get the "are you done, not going to try for a boy?" and the "4 daughters :-O just wait until they are teenagers" Well yes actually I cannot wait until they are teenagers. It is going to be great! Even if sometimes it isn't great it will still be great. Just as now they are all a handful with being 9 and under but such a blessings and such a joy, when they aren't being painful. Looking forward to a clean kitchen and laundry washed and folded and some girls to go shopping with.

So, there is much to look forward to down the road! :) Yes, it is hard--but what stage of motherhood isn't to some extent? I hope to encourage other moms of girls (and, really, of teens in general) that the joys of parenting are not lost when your child gets to an age that end with -teen! :) Thanks for hosting the lovely #SHINEbloghop!

A trio would be just precious, but at least now you have a hint that if you are instead blessed with a daughter, you need not fear her teen years. In general, I think teenagers get a bad rap. And as I long to be an equal-opportunity encourager here at GCM, I'm mentally working on a gender-inclusive (by which I mean not just for those with daughters, NOT anything else!) list tentatively called, "What I Love About Having a Teenager"! :) So glad we "met" each other via Christian Women Blogs!Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.com
