Sharing Sisters....

As many of you know, for quite awhile Dave and I wondered if we would ever have kids. Now this thought does something weird to a woman. I was suddenly thrust to a fork in the road on the the path of life. I could get bitter that things were different for Dave and I or I could be greatful that I had so many adorable women in my life with the cutest ever kids! Luckily these amazing "sisters" (related and not) willingly share their most precious possessions, their children, freely with me. This is just a shout out to all those women who have helped me cope by letting me love their babies. I love you all and your children too. You have helped me heal and for that I am eternally grateful.

PS Sometimes I get asked why I am crazy enough to "play" with so many kids at one time (example: The BYU vs. Utah Game) and I just say if you were faced with that fork in the road like I was, I know all of you would say as I did... bring um' on, the more the merrier!!! So feel free to share! We always have room for more playmates at the McKenna home!

PPS I must give a BIG shout out to the woman who truly knows my trails and had heart and faith enough to give me a chance to be a Mother! I love you always and forever Kate! I know your sacrifice and I am honored to take this journey with you!

Love you Misty!! You know Katie and James love you more than anything. Katie has been wanting a certain type of sucker. When she was complaining last night, and I told her that we don't get everything we want. She replied, "Well I will just go to the store with Aunt Misty, and she will get that sucker for me." I think that says it all.
