The joy of motherhood....

Many of you have heard the quote by Elder Ballard..."The joy of motherhood comes in moments".
There we are in the backyard.
Ben is kicking the soccer ball running around the yard.
Sarah is swinging
Josh is sleeping on the couch we have outside.
I think the above quote in my mind.
I go in and get some popsicles to further enjoy the moment.
I come out, Sarah is crying, Ben is sitting close by.
"What happened?"
Ben-"I tackled her".
Josh is crying, Sarah is crying and Ben seems to think he's inocent.
Nice moment.
