What I See

Dear Joel, You are so special to us. Yesterday, we were diving home and I looked back at the mirror above your car seat and I saw your cute little chubby face. You smiled. I melted. When I look at you...this is what I see 1. You are the embodiment of answered prayer. For you we prayed, cried, anticipated, planned and dreamed. Sometimes I cannot believe you are here and that you have been entrusted to us. 2. You are a picture of God's grace in times of trial. When your sister went to be with Jesus, it really felt like I would never be whole again. Then, God made you. It showed me, once again, the goodness of the Lord to us. 3. You are the stealer of sleep and I am ok with that because I know it will not last forever 4. You are the smile-maker...even on the hardest days you make me smile 5. You are mommy and daddy's special treasure and you will always be our sweet boy. Every day in new ways I am thankful to be your mommy. In the spit up, dirty diapers, extra laundry and bottle dishes...there is joy because of YOU. I want to write this down now because there is a chance (with the new "no sleeping policy" you have instituted in our house) that Mommy will forget exactly how we feel today. XOXO--Mommy Just some pictures of my sweet boy being himself....SWEET
