Hands Full

A few excerpts from a great blog post...

A house full of kids is full of so much richness, joy, tenderness and fun that I wouldn't trade it.  I wouldn't trade it for more time to myself, more quiet, more money, or more freedom. I wouldn't trade it for less mess, less laundry, less bickering, less whining, or less work. 

I want my children to know I celebrate them.
I am grateful for them.
I don't want them to feel like they are a burden to me.
Yes, my hands are full.
But so is my heart.
