First Mother's Day!

Brooks made this for me at church, it was so sweet!

Brooks with Grammy and Pappy. They love this little boy so much. Two of the greatest people in this world. I pray every day you will be able to remember these 2 people. They have truly been a blessing to me and have blessed our family in so many ways. They love you more than you will every know along with their other 9 great grandchildren.

Loving on Bett. We love you and had a great day with you. Thank you mom for being a great mother. I love you so much.

Brooks with Grammy and Bett

To wonderful little boy! Thank you for making me a mommy! I love you and can't imagine life without you!

Well I was on call for my first mother’s day, but thank goodness, I only had to work for 2 hours. My mom and grandparents were able to come over and spend the afternoon with us. It was so great to be with 2 of the greatest women I know. Growing up I always dreamed of the day that I would have my own child. For those of you who know me you know that, I love children. I spent many of my high school and college days babysitting, not b/c I had to but b/c I loved being around children. It is so hard for me to believe that I am now a mother. I have so many mixed emotions about being a mother. I worry that I will make mistakes as a mother. I am scared for what lies ahead for him in this world. It scars me to death to think about all the things in this world that could hurt him. I use to think my mom was crazy wanting to know where I was all the time and asking me all kinds of questions and now I understand. Some things I love about being a mother.
- walking in to day care and Brooks seeing me and his those big brown eyes looking up at me with a big smile and him starting to cry if I do not hurry up and pick him up.
- the way he reaches for my face when he is real sleepy and wants to rub my face
- Going in to his room in the morning and seeing that happy face
- Knowing that no matter how bad my day is I get to go home and play with my happy little baby boy
- Listening to my little man laugh out loud when his crazy momma sings silly songs to him
- Watching him play in the bath tub
- Watching him and his daddy in the mornings and knowing that I have a great husband and baby
- Last but not least Having the most perfect baby boy a mother could dream of. I never knew how much I would love this little boy and just how perfect he would be.
THANK YOU GOD FOR BLESSING MICHAEL AND I WITH JUST A PERFECT CHILD!
