My Seven Gifts...

My seven blessings are pictured here. I have been mothering roughly half of my life and the newness and joy of it never seems to fade. From my 18 year old to my 11 month old each of them the greatest gift, each of their smiles I have stored up in a mothers memory.

When I think of Mothers Day I am brought back to the moment I knew I was to be expecting each of them. I can recall the emotions I felt each time, the circumstances in which they came to be and the anticipation of awaiting their arrival. My heart is full of these special moments. He walked at 10 1/2 months, she got her first tooth when she was 5 months, he got his first real ouchie by skinning his nose, her first words were "night night"...

I surely will never fully understand how can it be that we are so blessed as mere women to be vessels of life and holders of something so precious as the spark of a tiny spirit, the creators of tiny fingers and toes. I just want to say on this a day for mothers, thank you my babies for letting me be yours.
