One of the first things I learned after becoming a parent was that it wasn't as easy as it looked. I wish that everyone could understand this before becoming parents themselves. It seems that people who don't have kids often think they make the best parents and have the best advice. Even those with children already sometimes think they know better. However, every child is completely unique, which is a blessing, and what works with one child will not necessarily work with another. I just wish that we could all be a little more compassionate to our fellow parents and understand that everyone is doing the very best they can with their own unique and special child.

You two are doing a phenomenal job with all three of your girls and they are growing up in a warm and loving Christian home. Best of all, they are all thriving and developing beautifully! The only one who can rightfully judge you is God. So, while the Wal-Mart employees and customers might stare and whisper, God will surely commend you on a job well done!

What a chunky monkey she's become! Cute cute cute!
 

I know she is my little chubbawaub...She is soo cute I love her to pieces!
 

Wow! 7 months already?!? I can't believe that! It still feels like you just had her the other day!
 

Casey, you are so very blessed! Kaetlyn, like her sisters, is a perfect creation. She, Madison, and Emma are absolutely beautiful girls! What a happy place your home must be, filled with the laughter of three tiny miracles.

What a blessing, too, that she is such a good eater and is so healthy!
 

Awww, it'll be ok...December will come sooner than you think!
 

It's so good that he's doing something he feels called to do - he seems like a really responsible guy. He'll be back before you know it!
 

Thank you, Eric for your courage, for your service for our country.
May God bless you with His protection and keep your family in His peace.
 

Thank you so much!
 

We had an awesome time! Thanks for coming over!
 

Wow, looks like fun! Too many cute kids, all in one place...
 

Very cute! I can't believe how big Kaetlyn is!
 

I am all about the Target purses - the one I carried all through Europe was $10 there (and who cares that one of the pockets is coming off now - it was $10!). And I think light-up shoes are too much fun. I say pppppptttttthhhbbbbbttttttt in their general direction.
 

Aww, I don't think that makes you white trash. Everyone has different tastes, and people shouldn't judge other people for that. Don't pay any attention to them.
 

Maybe if you were spitting chewing tobacco into your Target purse, or using it as an ash tray... But not just because you have a Target purse.
 

Your kids always look beautiful and so put together. But, even more important than that, they are happy. If characters on their clothes make them happy, then what is the harm? They are children for Goodness sake...let's let them enjoy life a little bit!

And, I for one am thankful for Target and their $20 purses! It's much more fun to buy a new purse whenever you feel like it since they are so cheap than blowing your mortgage payment on one that you'll be stuck with for years because you paid so much for it!

Casey, if you are considered white trash, then count me right there with you! I will wear that label with pride!
