HAPPY MOTHER''S DAY

Happy Mother's Day to all the new mothers I know personally and all the others too. May your journey be exciting, exhausting, thrilling, mindnumbing, heartbreaking, challenging, rewarding. . .you get the picture. It will run the whole gamit of emotions, but mostly may it bring you full circle. I feel something so right about the completeness of the cycles and circles in my life. It is one of the really good things about growing older. So hold you babies tight, and enjoy every stage of your journey, it goes by very fast. My love to you all.

First Birthday

We went to Virginia for Jimmy's first birthday. We had such a great week. I swear he is so cute he makes your eyes water. . . really!!!

He was the perfect birthday boy. Entertained all his guests, flirted with his mother's hot friends (and I really mean this, he was so taken with Catherine it was a riot), opened all his presents, giving each one his full attention and not fussing when it was taken away so he could open the next one, mushing his birthday cake. . . he just couldn't have been better. He crawled to the door and watched as his guests left. He's a born host. :)

We had a great time with him. He got a John Deere tractor from his uncle Travis that was a big hit. When we put him on it and pushed him around he would say "weeeeee". How cute is that? His aun Becky made him a DVD with pictures from his first year set to music that made me cry everytime I watched it. It is so wonderful.

He is very busy learning all the skills he wants to master. He's just so precious!!!

It was a perfectly wonderful week.

Universal Prayer?

Lord please give me the knowledge, wisdom, courage and discipline to do what I need to do.

Sort of fits most of the time. I'm using it more often myself. :)
