Ben and Amy

I know this picture is in the previous post but I felt the need to
post a larger version of it. I titled this post "Ben and Amy"
because I am finding that sometimes we forget ourselves as
individuals and not just parents of 3 beautiful children. This is to
honor my husband, Ben, and the Amy in me that sometimes gets pushed
to the background. We are still here and are loving our roles as
parents but we are also finding ways to be just Ben and Amy again,
too. I want to encourage all parents, new and old, to find something
you enjoy doing just for you or with your spouse and go do it. The
best thing we can do for our kids is to keep ourselves healthy, too.
We all know that if we neglected caring for our kids as often as we
neglect caring for ourselves somebody would call CPS. So, let's make
some time today or this week and take care of ourselves and know that
this will also make us better parents.
