I am blessed!




I am blessed to have in my life wonderful friends, and family. Yesterday my good friends Rita and Judy threw us a beautiful shower. They put so much time and effort into it planning and decorating and COOKING! (The food was terrific and I am still full 1 day later.) Thank you everyone who was there, I am so lucky to have you all in my life. These woman are my friends AND their daughters and sons are friend with my girls. We all know each other through the grammer school, and our children, and through the years have become so close. I never worry about getting stuck and not being present when school lets out. One phone call and anyone will stand in for me.
It was a great time and Dylan was the life of the party. Claire got a new camera for her 9th birthday and took pictures of every detail. The kids and adults had a great time.
After the party Chris and I took a drive into a local town with lots of cafes and quaint charm. We got some coffee and sat on a bench to people watch. Dylan woke up in the sling, big smile on his face. He reached out and put his baby arms around my neck, hugging me with all his might. In the background a man was playing "Somewhere over the rainbow" on the violin. I look over at my sweet husband, with this little man nestled into me. I will never forget that moment. All the dreams that I have dared to dream, really have come true!

Wow, that was a wonderful post. I am looking forward to the day my baby girl can be nestled close to me. For now, I'll just settle for chasing down boys who think their too big to be loved on by their Mama :o)
(Don't worry, the chasing is half the fun!)
