Celebration

This week has been a celebration week in our family.  First, we celebrated our sixteenth wedding anniversary.   In all, Mark and I have been together for 20 years this year - teenage sweethearts...in so many ways it just seems like yesterday.  What a wonderful, enriching journey we are enjoying together.  How thankful I am that we have each other, our strong love and friendship and our beautiful children.

A day after that, our littlest joy, Noah, celebrated his 2nd birthday.  Again, it seems like he has always been with us yet at the same time it feels like yesterday our little boy was born at home after a storm and after an incredibly beautiful rainbow lit up the grey sky with all its majestic beauty.  I remember how shortly after he was born, his brothers rushed in from playing outside and 'christened' him tenderly with little muddy fingerprints on his forehead.   How we all love our delightful rainbow angel.

  4. Thank you Tammy, Lisa and Leanne for your kind words. Us mamas each remember the birth of our babes with such clear and happy memories. And when it rolls around to their brithdays we recall those precious memories as if they were yesterday.

    Best wishes to each of you
