Sweet as can be

If it were possible to look into my heart, this is what you'd find. I once told a friend that I had never felt Jesus' presence in my life. My how I was wrong! Jesus has blessed my life in more ways I can't even count. Lainey and Beau are just two miracles He has given me. I really can't believe this is my life. I never imagined I'd have such an overabundance of love, friendship, and pure joy in my life and have to pinch myself once in awhile to remind myself it's really happening. Sure, like everyone else, I've experienced my share of hard times and adversity. And I know there will be tough times in the future. However, those are the moments that teach me things about life, people and myself. More importantly, the bumps in the road make the good times all the more wonderful. And I'm going to soak up and enjoy every second of the good that is my life right now.

Happy Birthday Laineybug!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! You are growing so fast I can hardly keep up with you! I remember exactly what I was doing when we got the call two years ago today. These past two years have been the best of my life--all thanks to you and your little brother Beau. I'll never forget the first time I saw your face and that head full of hair! You were beautiful then and you have just grown more and more beautiful everyday! Mommy and Daddy love you SO much it hurts baby! You have such a sweet, happy disposition-you are hardly ever in a bad mood and that's usually because you are tired. I think your favorite thing in the whole world is when your friends come over to play. You just squeal and jump up and down when you see them at the door. Of course, your favorite could also be balloons. You have a major obsession with them at the moment. You are really into pointing out numbers and letters of the alphabet, you can count to ten in English AND Spanish, you have memorized at least 10 songs and I hear you singing all around the house--to Elmo, Cooper, Beau, yourself, in bed before you go to sleep, in the car, wherever. Your little voice is music to my ears sweetie. You love to color with your crayons and chalk, smell flowers anytime you see them-including on your pj's, do puzzles, play with anyone and everyone in the play room, read books, and dance, dance, DANCE!!! Your favorite song is still Elmo's Song but I've turned you onto ABBA while we are in the car. You love to clap your hands to Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen. You surprise me every day with something new you have learned and you make me laugh 50 times a day. You are my heart Bug.

Love you bunches-Mommy
