Seeing that picture of Jon holding noble up...Steph,<br />Seeing that picture of Jon holding noble up reminded me of (i think) the only time I saw camille other than when she was first born. In the basement of your mom's house, Jon was balancing Camille in her circus act pose! I can see it clearly in my mind's eye. I couldn't believe they could do that little trick. So cute. I am sorry for the pain you are still experiencing. I wish i could take the heartache away. But all I can really do is say i love you.<br />emEmily Nelsonhttp://adorn-jewelry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-45594415831632585272009-09-04T17:46:04.554-07:002009-09-04T17:46:04.554-07:00Dearest Stephanie,
Thank you so much for this inc...Dearest Stephanie,<br /><br />Thank you so much for this incredible blog that you faithfully update. I am one of those strangers that you don't know but have been touched and influenced just the same. I have been feeling the same weariness of being a Mom and have been amazed at just how many other Moms are feeling the same way. I was reading a book written by Ardeth Kapp called "What Latter-day Stripling Warriors Learn from Their Mothers" I have been amazed at the lessons taught here. One thing that I read is actually a quote by President Ezra Taft Benson concerning this generation. He says "God has saved for the final inning some of His stronger and most valiant children, who will help bear off the kingdom triumphantly. You are the generation that must be prepared to meet your God." First of all as I read that I felt an even greater feeling of doom, how incredible is it to be the Moms in charge of teaching our children. And then I thought, it just may be possible that this is the reason that we have such restless children and ones that constantly keep us on our toes and sometimes get us remembering how wonderful it was to have our Moms in control and we just went to them with our problems. Hearing or reading about Moms just like you and me all feeling tired make me believe all the more that something GREAT is coming our way and this is Satan doing his best to get us to be unprepared. If he can stop us Moms from doing our callings he has truly won. Especially if it is our children that will be fighting the good fight in the end! As I write this I feel more empowered to keep going. I know that there will be times that it will be easier said than done but we have to keep going! <br />Again thank you for your testimony that you bear so many times here. It has truly been a blessing in my life to have stumbled onto this blog. On so many of my down days I am pulled to you and sure enough there is something that gives me that boost and gets me going again!Dutch John Guymonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961179404081551270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-77993675374656962022009-09-04T00:11:13.978-07:002009-09-04T00:11:13.978-07:00I completely understand the lack of sleep thing.

My 22 month old is worse at sleeping now then when she was a newborn..plus add on insomnia and I definitely think I will go crazy some days...and I only have one child. I hope you can get some sleep soon. You sound like a really good mom.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11435559587175333873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-44481954043445750942009-09-03T14:32:48.377-07:002009-09-03T14:32:48.377-07:00I don't think I've left a comment, but hav...I don't think I've left a comment, but have followed your blog since almost the time it began. This post really hit home. I have many days, nights, weeks and months that I feel so inadequate as a mother and wish I could just walk away from it for a while. However, we know it can't really be. I too have a little boy, he is 2 1/2 mos. old. Luckily he is a good sleeper but real fussy when awake so I have many hours of trying to bounce a baby on one knee while doing all the motherly duties with the other one. <br />Keep your chin up and enjoy the moment is what I keep telling myself because all to quickly he will be grown up and you will wonder where the time went.Burt Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02975113229876836578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-5804776368682852772009-09-03T12:24:36.654-07:002009-09-03T12:24:36.654-07:00I so know those same thoughts and feelings about m...I so know those same thoughts and feelings about motherhood! It would be so nice to go back to the dream life of being a child in your mothers arms!

I am exhausted at night yet know there is so much more that needs to be done to keep the house running. Noble reminds me of Camille in that picture.

Those same thoughts of how I feel alone at times when I am anything but, and the daunting feelings of motherhood, have crossed my mind many times. If only I could teach my kids to REALLY enjoy being young and carefree. So thank you-your thoughts echo mine and it's good to know that alas, we are not alone in this world!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786988812694759160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-65497135399587993472009-09-03T07:54:32.421-07:002009-09-03T07:54:32.421-07:00I hope you got some sleep!
