A Mothers Love

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love is something

that no on can explain,

It is made of deep devotion

and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish

and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it

or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving

when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters

even though the heart is breaking . . .

It believes beyond believing

when the world around condemns,

And it glows with all the beauty

of the rarest, brightest gems . . .

It is far beyond defining,

it defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret

like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendoured miracle

man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence

of God's tender guiding hand.

Please lord, place you hand on Linda and our family. Heal her and give her more time.

So long seashells..time for fall..here are a few of my inspirations

Office Inspiration

I have some exciting projects coming up...I got the OK on new curtains for the living room and kitchen...Nate's dresser to paint, Nate's new desk and a kitchen shelf to replace the oversized bakers rack.
Here are some of my inspirations for Nate's office...a friend of Nate's gave him this HUGE corner desk that he made himself..it is beautiful and perfect for Nate's needs...his friend said he would slap me if I painted it black so I am going with white. Can't wait to get started

Old Blog from myspace...soon to follow Mother of a 3rd Grader :(

I can't believe that starting tomorrow I will be a mother of a kindergardener. Where did the past 5 years go? My baby is defiantly not a baby anymore. He has become a charming well mannered little man and I couldn't be more proud of him. I thank God for Ethan, for allowing me to become a mother. I thank him for trusting me to raise this precious thing. In someways I feel like I became a mother for more than just the reason of having a baby. I wasn't all that nice before. I was a selfish spoilled stuck up 20 year old girl. Ethan made me into a selfless woman...a mother. A person that I am proud of. I have spent every moment of these past 5 years trying harder than anything ever in my entire life to be sucessful mother. I look at my little boy and I see this child that loves everyone, that realizes peoples emotions and cares about them, I this adorable voice sing songs to me, and his little hand pat my head or wrap around me and I just think, can it get any better? Oh and his laugh, this laugh of a this 5 year old boy fills your entire body with this overwhelming sense of happiness. How does he do that? I don't know but I never want it to end. :)

5 years!!! From cooing in his playpen to crawling to his first steps at mom and hearing him saying Momma for the first time to a kindergardener!

If you are reading this and you have babies at home run to them and hug them and kiss them every chance you get because it goes by so fast. Take it from this Momma of a Kindergadener (!) it goes by sooooo quick.
