Long time no see!

Yes, I admit I have more than neglected the blog. But for good reason.....we have had so much fun stuff going on. Miss Harpie is already 2 1/2 months old! She has doubled her weight and is smiling all the time. Aiden is wonderful and is starting to talk up a storm. I personally have spent a lot of time getting healthy and learning new things about myself every day. I can say that my state of mind has improved a great deal and I am thankful and much more appreciative for all the gifts in my life. There are truly so many.

Besides that......I recently celebrated my 30th birthday in Arizona with all of my very favorite people. I was originally just going out for a week with Harper to spend time with my mom while my dad was out of town (a girls weekend, ya know?) and then the night before I had to leave, I was sitting on the couch feeling sad, and in walked my beautiful son and handsome husband. I almost fell off the couch I was so surprised. Jeff had arranged for us to spend the night at a fabulous resort while Grandma and Grandpa watched the babies, and then this was accompanied by two days at the resort pool with family and friends. It was by far the best birthday I have ever had. Thank you to all who made it so memorable.

Happy Birthday to My Sweet Boy

Dear Aiden,

If there was ever a moment when I knew that our lives had changed completely, it was the day that you were born. My whole reality changed in that instant that I became your mom.

Ever since you came out into this world, I've become a better person. You have helped me to be patient, loving, compassionate, understanding, responsible, and focused. All of this is because of you, and I will always try to be the best person I can be for you.

You, my sweet little boy, are the main reason why I feel joy in my heart everyday. I feel so blessed to be your mommy. God knew exactly what He was doing when He gave you to me. He knew that you were exactly what I needed.

I am looking forward to each passing day, that I get to watch you grow. I have loved you even before you were born. I love you now, and forever.

Happy birthday Monkey....

Love,
Mama
