Mom to the Fifth Degree

I am now a mother of five children! Joshua Taylor (JT) joined our family on Tuesday, February 26th at 6:42 pm. What a precious baby boy sent from heaven. He is so sweet and pure. I love to watch him and his facial expressions and feel his very real spirit. He just makes me smile. I just don’t ever want to forget every detail of these precious days to me. From holding his tiny little hands and kissing his tiny feet – I just want to seer it into my memory and hold on, because I know he will grow up (as he is suppose to) – it just goes too fast. I am relishing the moments to be the mother of another infant, very grateful that I am entrusted to take care of him and bring him up in this mortal world. About a year ago I began having feelings that someone was missing from our family and now here I am with this little bundle of joy and feeling complete. He is so special and full of great promise. My only reservation about all of this obviously is that I can’t freeze this moment forever and that days will turn into years and life with keep on changing. My hope is that he will reach the potential he is designed to achieve and that I can be the guide he needs on his journey. I love my life and being a mom. My patriarchal blessing states that I will find no greater joy than being a mother and it is true. My children are the jewels of my crown, I love them all. I hope to slow my life down and hone in on the important things that make a difference in eternal perspectives. I have faith and testimony that families are forever – My greatest hope and desire is that I can pass that on to all five of my children and that they will have a desire to carry on this sacred tradition.
