1.15.2006 To me...

To you, he's a cute boy with freckles. To me, he's so much more...

To me, he's nothing short of a dream come true. I know every little freckle on his angel-kissed face. I know he has already impacted and will continue to impact the lives of many people for as long as he lives.

To me, he's the reason I face the world differently than I did before he was born. I know he's a little bit of a dreamer. I know he has a stubborn streak and I've seen him cry tears of hurt. I know he loves pretzels and I know he likes to make people laugh. I know that in his heart he carries a thousand hopes and dreams his Father and I have for him.

To me, he's everything.

1.01.2006 Whimsical Resolutions

We all make them...resolutions. The beginning of the year is the time to make changes that will make us better; our lives better.

I am making only whimsical resolutions for 2006. Changes that would be nice but I won't feel any guilt for not accomplishing.

*go to Target less*

*smile, hug and laugh even more*

*fill all of those picture frames*

*drive slower*

*scrub the bathroom more*

*grow lots of flowers*

*take more "every-day-life" photos*
