My Baby is 2...

and his momma is so sad. I can't beleive that it was two years ago that I woke up at 4am to my water breaking and then laboring all day and evening to end up with a stubborn child who would have to come c-section anyway. And to this day he continues to be stubborn. I wouldn't know where he would get that from. He is honestly the light in my life and I really don't know what I would do without his shining little face. When he got into that poison last spring we very well could have lost him. But God knew his momma needed him. Yes I get mad at him and frustrated at the things he does or doesn't do, but I would never give him up in a million years. As I think back over the past year, he has done so much growing and evolving as a little man. He still doesn't talk like I want him to but golly gee look at his brother who now talks up a storm and did the same thing. I only hope the next brings as many blessings and fun as what this year has brought!

Hellish Halloween

Here are the 2008 Halloween pics. We made it through yet another year of Halloween. I hate halloween. I don't think I've mentioned that before but I really do. I know the kids have fun and everyone loves seeing what they are dressed up as but I HATE IT! There are too many places that we have to go to and we really don't have time for other houses because of that. We have to go in and say hello and visit for a bit at each stop. Well, let's say that we visited at only a couple of places this year...ahem. I wanted to be done early because Mike had to work the entire weekend and we needed to get home early and spend some family time. Well, we didn't get done so early and Drew fell asleep in the car. It probably didn't help that we had been in the car most of the day traveling to Joplin to get the boys' flu shots. I'm just glad I had the day off! I guess I'll get over the awfulness of one night a year. They are only young once. One of these days I will be wishing that they were still little and I was still trick-or-treating with them.
