Hello 7:00am!

Yes, I realize it isn't 7:00am anymore but it takes me about an hour to wake up. Soooo, Hello 7:00am! It's nice to get reaquainted. Even if I am doing this begrudgingly. You see, I am a night owl and well my son used to sleep in until about 8:00am or 8:30am. Apparently he heard about this other really fun time of day called, 7:00am. So let's be friends again 7:00am but don't expect me to talk to you or be coherent until 8:00am or 8:30am show. It will just be less awkward that way! Bye for now.....see you tomorrow......maybe! :)

Tragedy

I am facing a bit of melancholy today. A lady I met a couple of weeks ago at a jewelry show I did lost her 22 month old son this weekend. They found him in there family pool. We prayed so hard and had hopes for a miracle but it just wasn't in God's plan I suppose. I didn't know the lady well obviously but I had just met her and her children. I could picture his little face as I prayed for him. I don't know if I have ever prayed harder for anyone. When I found a few days later that he had not made it my heart ached so much and I just wanted to cry. I found it odd that I was grieving a child I barely knew. I, however, believe I have figured out why I reacted so strongly.

First off I had just met them so they were fresh in my mind. Secondly, he was only 9 months older than my own son. I can't imagine the complete devastation the family is going through until I think about how I would feel if the same thing happened to B. Words can't even express how I would feel. I know I must give this to God and not dwell on it or live in fear that something could happen to my precious boy. I am just going to love, hug,and kiss him a little closer now. Because even though he has his whole life ahead of him nothing is guaranteed. God has his plan and purpose for B's life. I give him to God for protection and care.

Baby boy's birthday party

It was a success YEAH!!! The birthday boy was energetic and on the move:



He loved his present from momma and daddy:



The Mickey Mouse cake I made turned out decent:



I also made him his own little individual cake to devour:



Only he didn't so much devour it as he played in it:



Overall I say it was a good time had by all! Especially the birthday boy. Speaking of the birthday stay tuned for a retrospect of his birth and first year of life! I can't believe I have a toddler now :)! It's been quite a year!

Pictures in my blog

So I have decided I am going to put some pictures in my blog! But you will have to wait for that post because I am going to use my baby's birthday party as the inaugral event. Oh and I will document the cake making process as well. Should be fun!
