The Lenox home is filled with business and anxiousness. We are preparing our place for the arrival of our son, which has been tiring. Aliya is starting to understand that there will be a big change so for right now she wants very little of me and all of her dad. We are very excited for Aliya to meet her brother, we are also excited to meet him. The pregnancy is coming along very well. We are progressing very well also. Aaron is very nervous that we are going to go into labor within the next two weeks because next week is his last week to study for finals and the week following is finals week. As for me I am ready to hold him and love on him now. Aliya looks and touches the baby's things and say aw, in a squeaky baby voice. I will post pictures as soon as the baby is born.

One of the young women gave a talk sunday. There was one part of it that really stuck in my mind. She told a story of a boy who wrote out a list of chores he did that week, and then went on to tell his mother how much each chore was, it came out to $14.75. When the boy finished the mother then wrote out a list of things she as done for him through out his life and the sacrifices she has made for him, being his mother. The boy read it then wrote at the end Paid in full. I thought it was a beautiful story.
I love being a mother.
I enjoy sacrificing myself for my children.
It is hard at the end of the day to not be thankful to be a mother. Heavenly Father intrusted me with presoius spirits and what a blessing it has been to have them in my home.
I love watching my daughter grow and learn. she is so beautful in every way. Aliya teaches me something everday, mostly how to love unconditionally, she is so pure. Being a mother is a honor and a gift from our Heavenly Father, and I am thankful for such.

Whats new??

Aliya is growing like a weed. She loves to take showers, color, finger paint, be read to, and color with chalk. Her favorite things are showers and coloring. She is talking a ton. I am so proud of her devopment in learning. She is a very sweet girl. Aaron is finishing up at CCC and is preparing to start Pre-med, we are so excited. Aaron is graduating in june with his assosiates, I am so pround of him. When he came back from his mission he was deathly ill, but went to school any ways. He got married and then added to his family with a baby. Aaron graduating is not as huge as graduating with your career, but it is a huge accomplishment he didn't know he could make. As for me, I am a stay at home mom, and prego. I am trying to servive this pregnancy with out losing an addision of my family. I am starting to nest but have nothing to nest with, I am getting stir crazy. We are very excited for our son to come. That's a rap.
A rose for mothers day.
