Gotta Love Mom!!!!

Well Baby Bear is 10& half months old today, my mom is 67 today and I think I may have a squirrel in my house!!! And guess who came over to help chase away the squirrel?
Yep, that would be my 67 year old mother that came! No, not my husband (he is at work, but really would not have been much help anyway) or either of my brothers which by the way are big guys - one 7 foot and one 6 ft. 5 inches! OR my Dad that told my mom he needed to do a few things first--- nope, it was dear ole' mom and while I watched her with the broom in my laundry room doing her best to poke around and find the critter -- I just smiled teary eyed and thought of so many great times she made sure us kiddos had! You gotta love her -- now really how many people can you call up on zero notice that will rush over to help when you hear something in your house - and take you serious and not laugh, because in her mind that squirrel (or whatever it was) was after her baby (that would be me the youngest of 4)---A mothers love really knows no boundries! Thanks Mom! I love you! and happy birthday!!!

10 months old today!!!




Well baby bear is 10 months old today!!!!! She wants to do everything on her own-- I really just treasure her indendence!!!! Ofcourse we usually end up with food everywhere and big messess, but that's o.k., messes clean up! In this picture she can not decide if she wants to feed herself or play peek-a-boo with the bowl!!!! She is just sooo becoming her own little person, everyday with her is such an adventure, she has this sense of wonder about her that is just magical -- I am so in love with this little person that came in to my life 10 months ago!

Bmothers Day/Mothers Day

Dear: Goldilocks,

There is so much I want to say to you but it is so very hard to find words that really mirror what I am feeling. I have always wanted to be a mom since I can remember. Unlike most people I came to motherhood in a different way. My journey to motherhood starting with having a meeting with a stranger arranged by social workers. I still remember the first time I saw you, I felt such a connection with you, like you know when you meet someone and instantly know they will be a part of your life forever? Well that is how I felt when we meet. You and I share one of the strongest bonds two people could share and that is our daughter. I feel so connected to you each and everday, when I look at baby bear I see so much of you. I just really wanted to say thank you for being a part of our lives, I love the way things are between us and as the years go by baby bear will see how special our relationship is. And my gut was right from our first meeting -- we will always be connected in a special way forever!
With all my love,
Mamma Bear

Life is good!!

Well, I have been busy with baby bear and pappa bear coming home, so I have kinda neglected my blog (which I actually have really enjoyed). I keep trying to think of some thought provoking or profound topic to post about and really - life has been pretty ordinary lately and I am loving it!!!! Baby Bear loves books!! Being an early childhood educator this makes me sooo happy! She is clapping all the time, this is her new thing and she thinks it is the neatest thing -- ofcourse so do I!!! We have a trip coming up very soon to see Goldilocks, I am very excited about that! Like I said life is just plain and simple delightfully boring right now -- and I wouldn't have it any other way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
