Yesterday, Monday, was my first official day watching my girls full time. I know its early yet, but I absolutely love it. I hope I never take this opportunity for granted. I hope I won't be like my mom and look back to say these years are a blur. I want to remember and take in every single second I have with them. I want no regrets at 80. I want to say I did my best everyday. In that, I set a goal of no TV/computer for anyone until after 11. (the girls get up about 6:30-7) The morning will be our time together to do bible study, go outside before it gets too hot, puzzles, painting, or just be together acting silly. I know its only day 2, but the TV didnt get plugged up until 1:30. It was only on 30 minutes for me to get Alyssa asleep and Olivia occupied. Olivia loves Playhouse Disney and would watch that all day if I let her. I have watched every single show on that channel and have decided there are decent messages they are portraying, but NONE of them talk of God. Anyways, now that the girls are down for the night, I am on the computer for the first real time today. (with exception of about 10 minutes talking to Julie) Are these goals too high and unrealistic? Is it too soon to tell?.........I certainly hope NO is the answer to both. I really want to make a habit of spending Godly quality time with my girls everyday. And for me quality time is more than 15-30 minutes a day. In time.....

Hey Sis! I think you are doing an awesome job and no these aren't high expectations. It's called being a loving mom who loves her girls with all her heart and wants all for them she can offer. I have also rearranged some things needed so we will see how it goes. You're the best mom! I'm proud to say =)
You are the best addition to the Hendersons. Love you!
