Remember When...


Lord, thank you for the blessing of being a mother to such a beautiful boy...


It doesn't seem that long ago that we welcomed our beautiful little one into our family on a sunny November afternoon.  Forever etched on our hearts are the sacred moments we shared that glorious day...

Coming home was extra special...Thanksgiving Day :)  We had an over abundance of new blessings to add to our list...

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together had just begun
You were part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.

I'd daydream of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC's.
I thought of things you'd want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.

I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.

Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your bedroom door,
Awed each day I love you more.

Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, "I love you" every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journey's begun,
My heart's yours forever my precious son.

What a wonderful post! I loved seeing all these pictures. I remember in MOPS one day Kim saying she was going to take you guys dinner because you had just come home from the hospital, that was before I knew you. Love this Adrian, some of these pictures are awesome!
