End of an Era

I have been up all night not able to sleep.  I have been thinking about my family, my kids, my Barrett.  I didn't nurse him today.  He's 11 months old.  He's growing up.  He's not my baby anymore and next thing I will know he'll be going to school and I will be all alone at home.  I am missing him and all my kids already.  I love them all.  I feel so lucky that they chose me to be their mother.  Thank you boys, I find it a great honor to be your mother.  Tonight I am dwelling on the end of an era for me.  No more little tiny babies in my home.  Although they are all growing up I will never forget the feeling of holding my baby close to me, rocking them to sleep and the feeling of their head laying on my shoulder, singing hush little baby and you are my sunshine, the sounds of your baby laughs when I tickle your fat.  I love you boys!

Tiny Bird Photography: May 2011.

A new friend, who I feel like I have known for a lifetime, is a talented emerging photographer (http://tinybirdphoto.blogspot.com/).  She obliged to take our family photos this spring.  I was brought to tears seeing those little boys of mine captured perfectly.  Here is a sampling:

Owen Student of the Month

Owen was chosen as student of the month for his class.  They focus mostly on character development and actions than academic they get a cute crown and a special donut reception with all the other Student of the months and their Principal.  He was very proud and excited about the whole thing.

Bahamas: Paige Loves Justice

Sweet Paige found true love and married him in the Bahamas.  She thought of every last detail and their love for each other was felt the whole weekend and made for a wonderful vacation.  Earl and Alesa were brave enough to take on the 4 boys and I was able to relax laugh and reconnect with all my old friends.  A lifetime memory!
