And proud of it!  I've been through a lot thus far and have come out on the other side happier than I ever could have imagined.  I love my life, I love being a mother.  It's special and rewarding in ways I never thought were possible.  As I sit here and look back through all the pictures of our past, I am filled with love.  I love this little girl!  Hannah Denise (aka-- Angel Baby, Baby Girl, Child, Little one, QP) you made me who I am today.  Thank you!  Thank you Tom (aka--Daddy, Baby, Tomas, Goob, Precious, Husband) for making my first Mother's Day so special.  Keep it up!    Mom's are special people.  Having been one, I know a little bit more of what my mom experienced with me, and all that Candice and I entail.  Thank you Mamma!  I love you!  It was special spending time with you for Mother's Day and the whole week.  Candice, Rob, Maddie, Mom, Dad, and the 3 of us spent the day together. 



I woke up on Mother's Day with the cat walking all over me and Tom wrestling around in bed to what I know now was purposeful.  Tom proceeds to wake me up and force me out of bed to see the baby.  In my sleepy state, I didn't even have time to think about what we were doing or that it was very much out of Tom's character to do something like this.  When I got there this is what I saw....


Check out the right hand corner of the crib...




Tom knows me so well.  It was perfect!  Jewelry, flowers, family time, chef, dish washer and lone diaper changer for a day...what more could I ask for?
