I really do. They are so good to me and I feel like the luckiest person alive to be John's wife and Brinley's mother. The other day in the grocery store I got to talking with an older lady who asked why I already had a three year old and no other other little ones already there or on the way. She then told me how sorry she was for me that I did not know the blessings of multiple children. I was a little offended by that because I do LONG for another baby badly but for some reason the Lord has not blessed us with that yet. However, I do feel more than blessed that I have Brinley. I am so lucky to be a mother even if it is to just one child. I think that people think you can't be as much of a mother if your mothering one. I think that is very inaccurate. I am just as much as a mother as my dear friends who have multiple children. The Lord knows our desire to have another child but the time is not now for some reason but it will happen. I know that. So for now, I am just so grateful that I have the family that I have and that I can call them mine. I love them deeply and thank Heavenly Father for the blessing that each of them are to me.

Amanda, you are a stellar momma. Brinley truly is a blessed baby girl to have such a wonderful example of motherhood! This one on one time you are having with her is going to shape her into such a sweet young woman. I miss the days of one...not because 4 is overwhelming, but because I could pour my entire heart into one sweet babe. you really are amazing amanda! I sure miss your pretty face!
I've seen the type of mother you are at you are amazing. To me motherhood is a calling. Some of us are called to have multiple kids and the truly great moms are called to have one. The lord must really love Brin to put her in a home where she can have such undivided love from you. And how lucky are you to be able to say you are the mom of such a wonderful girl. I miss having you both nearby.
