Summer’s Off?

Well, “Wefells” certainly didn’t take the summer off, but our blog did. We played outside, soaked up the sun, rode the waves, swim team practice each day, attended summer camps and spent more days in the month of July on the beach, than in Dallas. Amen! Life is certainly good and getting better day by day – no complaints here! I love summer and am a little sad it quickly came to an end, but this fall has been better than any season or year yet! Here is a quick photo time lapse of how our summer went – starting with Memorial Weekend at the farm with our family, the first day of summer we rescued a litter of baby rabbits, spent time in the sprinkler and playing with sidewalk chalk, swim team each day, road trips, beach trips, ice cream with sweet friends and the finale of summer was momma’s lake trip with girlfriends! Ahhh and now school and routines have returned, but there is something so wonderful about bodies of water during the hot summer with friends and family!

Inspired Mothering

“Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. Before you were an hour, I would die for you. This is the miracle of love.” – Maureen Hawkins

Anytime people talk about their children being “accidents”, or even my own parents talking to my sister and I about how they didn’t plan on having children, I always come back to this moment of thought – I prayed to God for my husband, I begged God for my children, one at a time and no matter how rewarding or difficult. I think back to the times when I would have given anything to have them and that moment shortly after they were born when someone said, “it’s like no feeling you’ve ever had – you would jump in front of a moving train for them…” and as hard as some days can be – I certainly would do just that. Mothering is not for the faint of heart, I have been in the trenches and seen brighter days, but would I change any of it? Not a chance. Happy Mother’s Day to all!
