Eight Years Ago...

...something happened that would
forever change my life...


Happy Mother's Day!!

...for the better.

My son was born.

Cutie-patootie


Even though he came early and was
the smallest thing I'd ever seen,
he was beautiful.
He was perfect.

I had never changed a diaper before in my life.
I'd only ever held a baby once.
I had only ever had dogs and had
no clue what to do with a baby. 

How much is that doggie in the window?

But he grew. And he learned to walk. 

9mos

He learned to climb trees.
Here's looking at you kid!

He learned to blow bubbles.

blowing bubbles

He got teeth and lost teeth.
toothless grin

He conquered a bicycle. 
riding his new bike

He conquered roller blades.
getting pretty good

I was so scared I would screw everything up.

Kevin's Pikachu

But I think he's turning out just fine.

my little reader

Thank you to all my family and friends
for your help and support.
You have helped him
in becoming a little man.


Happy Birthday Sweetpea!
You're the best thing that ever happened to me.
asleep with his friends
I love you!

I just dread when it's time for a real car.
Driver's education
