The 1st sign of happy tears

Granted I am an over the top mom. I absolutely love being a mom & a wife. I think it is what I was created for. In my 3 years of mothering I had had many great moments, moments I treasure, but today was by far my favorite day of being a mom. I pray to God that this day will forever be embedded in my memory. What happened you ask?  We had planned a fun day for St. Patty's Day, but that is the norm for me when it comes to holidays. I make huge deals out of every holiday. It is a gorgeous day, and my house is trashed I have so much work that needs to get done-- I decided to throw it all out today. I was going to play, & play until we couldn't play no more. SO on a last minute whim I loaded Rover (the car) with toys, any outdoor play I could think of, packed lunches & took off to the park. We had our lunch & took a walk. Then I decided to pull out a kite that I bought years ago-- and it was like Magic. I have never had so much fun. We ran, laughed & played SO hard. We both ended up covered in mud & did not care a bit. It was a total blast. I love this kid so much & her perspective of life, I pray she never looses it. She is grateful for everything and doesn't take anything for granted. I am not sure how a 3 year old can be so wise, but I learn so much from her. After about 3 hours of playing, she says "Mom I think I have to stop my legs are so tired". So we cleaned up best we could-- thank God I keep wipes in my car at all times! Then on the way home out of my rear-view mirror, I saw her pucker up & I asked what was wrong. She reply "Mommy I have so much fun with you it makes me cry but I am not sad!" I swear this child is my angel. SO then we were both crying & laughing! I cannot wait to see what she is going to become in life to already have such a beautiful heart.


Thank you God for choosing me to be her mother! Yes, I waited a long time for her, but I would have waited 3 times that long if I would have known how incredible she would be. I've had people say to me, she's so lucky but the truth of the matter is we are lucky.

Enjoying her rainbow cupcake!
