Well it is no lie when someone tells you to love, cuddle and spend time with your kids because time flies. Months 1-4 have felt like a blink. I am somewhat panicked because to be honest I am relying on my self too much. I am constantly in fear of being a horrible parent. I think last night I had a eureka moment or maybe it was a swift kick in the tail from the Holy Spirit. No matter what I am going to fail, people fail each other. Being willing to acknowledge your failures, make efforts to change them and move on I suppose is vital. I am honestly thankful and grateful for the gift God has given me through Ainsley. She causes me to truly reflect and want to be better, not just a better mommy but wife, daughter, friend and so on. It really is true that your kids show you things you might not have been willing to see before. I pray I don't waste four months or four years unwilling to reflect and therefore unwilling to change. I pray for God's grace and mercy and ultimately for time to SLOW down...
We would like this blog to encapsulate exactly what the title refers to. The "memoirs", the memories, the observations and the life experiences that occur at Burke Manor. Why Burke Manor, you ask? Anytime someone new would come to visit our home Josh would always say, "welcome to Burke Manor". It just sort of stuck so now we have, "The Memoirs of Burke Manor".
