mother’s day

“There’s a time when you have to explain to your children why they’re born and it’s a marvelous thing if you know the reason”  --Hazel Scot

i know the reasons but don’t want to forget so I'm taking notes (for the rest of my life) …

There is something so sweet about the day you meet your child... and the days that follow.  Ask anyone that knows me: when i talk about the day each of my children were born my eyes well up, and i want to do it all over again. I feel so blessed and happy to have these little people in my life and I don’t want to forget a moment of it.  So, here is my elephant list (because an elephant never forgets)

sweet baby breath

 

chubby armed hugs



sweet voices telling me I'm their best friend



oh those squeezable rolls



carefree twirls



kisses on the lips (and these precious cheeks)

baby dances (head bobbing, swaying, hands on knees bouncing)

kid hair..sweet light, care free, bouncy curls



tiny little hands



being taught patience from the greatest teachers on earth

pure innocence

mending a hurt heart over something simple



from the gut laughs….

toothless smiles

innocent precious faces

peaceful sleepers



this list could go on and on but for now…i think it’s a good start :)

happy mother’s day moms- hug your little (or big ones!) today!
