Grateful

I guess I am being sentimental since Edwards 4th birthday is drawing near, but I keep going back to what was going on at this time 4 years ago as we were eagerly awaiting his arrival. He is such a blessing and sometimes I still think wow someone is really calling me Mommy. God is just so great. Being a mommy is such a wonderful adventure, you never know what the morning will bring when you have a child in your life. I know that not all children are blessed to mommies through the natural way, sometimes God blesses mommies with children in very special ways through adoption, foster care, and as a step parent. I don't care how you come to be blessed to be a parent, just take everyday like it is a new adventure. Not all days will be perfect but trust me...the food covered hugs, wet kisses and sugary sweet I Love Yous will make up for all the bad plus more. Enjoy your children while they are small because it will make all the difference to them when they are adults.
