Grown men wear princess hats and have tea parties.

People with kids...
I am a "People with kids". I wouldn't trade it for the world. The snot, crying, screaming, laughing, giggling little joys that God has blessed us with, are ours. Only on loan from the Lord. They make me better. I am constantly striving to be the mom they need me to be.
During this crazy season filled with artificial things, keep your eyes to the one who create you to be a "People with kids". And remember that you are a child of God. He is the ultimate Father, who sent His child to us, to save us...
All of that sounds just like our Oehler house! We are people with kids and I would NOT have it any other way!!!
