This weekend during a quiet moment, maybe the only quiet moment, I was holding Caura as she slept. She was so quiet and curled up in a ball. It made me think that only a year ago she was sleeping in my belly. (if you are not a mom this may sound funny, it did to me pre-mom days) I got so emotional and it struck me how important this parenting job is and how most of us do it with such ease until something scary comes up. OK so I was also watch a Lifetime Movie about a sick child. I found my self so grateful that my children are healthy, beautiful, and PRAISE GOD pretty easy going. Caura is only 8.5 months old and she is pulling up an things and even balancing on her own. She is feeding herself with her little perfect fingers and even getting grumpy when she runs out of food or when Corbin takes a toy she is enjoying. How beautiful is she?!? I could have never guessed that babies could be so wonderful. This mothering experience also gives me insight in to why parents have a hard time not telling their grown children what to do because I can not imagine a time that I will not be in control of Corbin and Caura. It gives me such an appreciation to my parents and Chris' parents who not only helped us through childhood but in that process trained us and showed us by example how to be great parents. We are the luckiest children in the world and my children are so blessed to have them as grandparents.
ALSO today is our 9th wedding anniversary! Yea to Chris and I we have made it through college, bad jobs, and two pregnancies. WE ROCK! So nine years ago at 3:30 PM Chris and I were enjoying our wedding cake and celebrating with our family and friends! It was a great day and it has only gotten better. I have heard people say that some couples focus on the wedding and not the marriage and I have to say - We have done fantastic on both! I am blessed to have a loving, strong, patient, husband who loves me endlessly and has never lost a desire to be my friend and number one supporter.
