It was three years ago, RIGHT NOW, that I was laying in a hospital bed, getting prepped for a C-section...
Oh, if only I could have truly known how my life was about to change.
Actually, I take that back...
I'm glad I didn't know.
Not knowing was (and still is!!) half the fun.
So I thought we'd take a little step back in time and see what each year has held for us
This photo was taken pretty much as soon as JM was born.
I can still remember how sweet he was, how snuggly and warm.
It seems like yesterday... and forever ago all wrapped into one...
That first year was full of SO MANY firsts...
teeth, sitting, crawling, walking, babbling...
first car trips, play dates, ice cream...
To all you new and soon-to-be mommies:
TREASURE THIS BABY TIME!!
They grow up wayyy too fast and before you blink,
you're at:
As we move on into the next year, we had more growth and changes...talking, singing, SCHOOL...
sleeping through the night, sippy cups, haircuts...
birthday parties, weddings, dancing...
What a year!
I think that this year brought more changes than a little boy should deal with...I went back to work...
Micah changed jobs...
We moved...
and LOTS of other new things:
big boy bed, spankings, vacation...
weeks at bb & poppy's house, the ocean, a cousin!
What a blessing this sweet, flexible, easy going boy is!
I wonder what this year will hold...I'm guessing lots of laughing, hugs and kisses...
probably a few fits, some tears and owies...
but one thing I KNOW-
this year will be filled with LOVE.
And hopefully each year John Mark will realize not only
how much I love him...
how much his daddy loves him...
but how much GOD loves him...
This is my prayer everyday.
