Being a mother is the best gift a woman can get from our precious Lord. Although the labor can be quit lengthy and painful, the reward sews dividends in your life. Paxton has been such a blessing to us. He has taught me a different meaning to the word "love" and given me a clearer understanding of the sacrifice God made by sacrificing His son for my sins. Watching Pax grow and develop over the last year has been nothing short of marvelous. He has a personality that is bursting at the seems, is always laughing and could talk to you about anything (he got that from his momma)! He loves to read and playing outside is equivalent to me offering him ice cream for breakfast lunch and dinner. He currently is obsessed with dogs and birds and will walk around the house saying "woof woof". He runs to the windows calling out for birds and frequently slaps the windows when he gets one in his sight. He is such a boy because he LOVES to get dirty and wrestle with his daddy in the floor. I've had to learn that some grass in the mouth or dirt on his clothes is okay. My favorite thing is when he runs to me with and wraps his little arms around my neck. Nothing can express the feelings that radiate through me when he gives me one of those little hugs. All the changes have been such a delight to watch and has made me excited about the day that he looks up at me and says "I love you mom." We are also excited to see how he reacts to his new little sibling in 5 months. YES if you haven't heard we are expecting number 2 and could NOT be more excited! To wrap this up I wanted to post this poem about motherhood. To all the grandma's and mothers that read this blog....Happy Mothers Day!
A Mother Is
A mother is always there when you need a helping hand; to love you and guide you , and to forgive and understand.
A mother is always there with her arms open wide, when you need somewhere to go, or a safe place to hide.
A mothers love is unconditional, in the strongest storm it does not bend; its powers are unmatched, the deepest wounds it can mend.
She is the one true keeper of truth, strength, and love. A mother is a gift from Heaven up above.
