Being the mom of an only child

Today, over at Kelly's Korner, she is doing a link of moms of only children. I do not know many parents of only children. We quite often get asked when we are going to have another child and have to explain WHY we are only having one. We were more than pleased that God allowed us to be the parents of this amazing little boy:

He has been such a joy these last 4 years. God has not impressed upon neither mine or my husband's heart to have anymore children right now. We feel that right now we love having the time to devote to him as well as to our marriage. Jon and I are in this until the end, through good times and bad we are in it together. Another reason why we are parents to our one and only sweet Jack is because we are a military family - a National Guard military family. I know you are probably thinking what is the difference. Well there is a huge difference. For the most part, the National Guard members live normal lives with normal jobs, except for Jon. He is an active Guard Reserve, which means he works full time for the National Guard for the State of Florida. He did a tour in Iraq and is now currently travelling 2 out of every 4 weeks of the month. It was hard enough to be a single parent to one the year he was gone and I can't imagine doing it with more than one. As people always say, God will not give you more than you can handle, and He hasn't.

Thanks for reading. Here is a picture of our family.
