If you know me well, you know that I have always wanted to have kids, and lots of them. :) When I was a little girl, I almost always was playing with a baby doll. I started to baby sit at a very young age, and became a regular for many families (a lot of them I still keep in touch with!). Every job I have ever had has dealt with children in some way, and I really don't know what it would be like to not be around kids all the time!
I really believe that I was put in this world to be a mother. The only thing I have ever really wanted in life is to be married and have a family...it's just a bonus to me that I got to marry my best friend who makes me laugh every day and we made an amazingly beautiful baby. Being a mom has been everything I was hoping for and more...I love every single second that I get to spend with Claire. (Ask me again when she is 13 and I might not say the same thing... :)
Bud offered to help me with yard work this weekend and then next weekend we are getting family pictures taken and he is NOT going to complain about it. :) (Pictures were my request, he hates having pictures taken, so I figured if I asked for it as a Mother's Day present he couldn't exactly say no!) Claire was an absolute angel all weekend and we had some really wonderful family time.
I feel so blessed to have such an amazing little family. I am so very thankful for Bud and Claire, and can not wait to see what the future holds for our family.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!
That picture makes me cry!
