i'll always remember that prior to being a mom, all i wanted was boys.
i was gonna be a mom with lots and lots of boys...i didn't need any girls.
i know a lot of those feelings stemmed from having a not-so-sweet relationship with my own mother. i was just so sure that if i had girls, i wouldn't enjoy them, and there would be no chance of us ever having a good relationship.
but then, i had a girl...then two...and now three.
and i've realized what a gift it is, to have three girls.
god has shown me that it doesn't have to be the same.
that, with grace, i can have a relationship with these girls...much like the relationship i always yearned for with my own mother.
olive was snoozing during our mini photo session...but i couldn't leave her out of this post :)

ReplyDeletethese pics are PRESH! :)
ReplyDeleteDaughters are a wonderful gift and I am so glad you can see and know that, "it can be different" So glad you are embracing your girlies (with CUTE skirts too!)
ReplyDeleteComing from a family of three girls i know the tensions that can arise in the home! I have the deepest love and respect for my mother {though we, at times, fought like cats and dogs} but now that i am married and on my own i see how everything she did she did out of love and to protect us and point us to Jesus! Excited for you and your adventure with your daughters :) LOVE their skirts {and yours!}
ReplyDeletethanks for this comment morgan :)
DeleteBeautiful pictures! And olive is so pretty with her big smile!
ReplyDeleteYou and your girls are beautiful and I love the matching skirts! I have always said I never want more than 1 girl because of the rocky relationship I've had with my sister. So of course I know the Lord is going to bless me with a whole sorority to change my heart. Isn't that how He always works! :) I love that He has given you the grace to overcome your feelings and that you have the gift of 3 beautiful little ladies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics Emily! Your girls are lucky to have such a wonderful, God loving Mama like you! Blessings to you and..... I do love those skirts :)
ReplyDeleteYou made me cry! I'm a mom of three girls, and feel the same way. I'm thankful that all things can be new, and I've found such hope through my girls. Love those skirts!
ReplyDeleteYou all are gorgeous! I love those skirts ~ they are so fun with the chevron and flowers.
ReplyDeletebeautiful momma to your girls and boys. such a sweet heartfelt post.
ReplyDeleteohmygosh, you are all so beautiful! And the skirts are absolutely lovely. Funny, I always wanted lots of girls but only had one and three little guys. I guess God gives us just what we need and the love is abundant regardless. :-)
ReplyDeleteum, adorable overload. i think you need to reshoot with olive, those skirts are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThis a really heart warming post. i feel like you just picked my brain. I too have always wanted all boys, for similar reasoning. I only have one kiddo so far (happens to be a boy ;) ) but this made me excited to maybe have girls someday. thank you.
ReplyDeleteOooooh girl, I'm loving Miss Elsa's sass in that first photo. :]
ReplyDeleteshe is full of sass :)
