Jake is blessed to be surrounded by some amazing women...he wishes you ALL a very happy mother's day. We celebrated the weekend in Massachusetts with a birthday party for Auntie Shelley on Saturday and then lunch with YaYa on Sunday. Jake hung as long as he could at the birthday party, and was a huge hit! We stayed at Auntie Shelley's and Uncle T-T's house Saturday night and Jake made Mommy's day on Sunday by sleeping until 10:15 am! It was a blessing to wake up on Monther's Day with him sleeping between Alex and I. The kid LOVES to move around and roll all over..but what better way to wake up on this day than with him clutching my neck.
When I was younger my grandmother had this activity for us where she would have Courtney and I make a list of all the things we were to people.. back when I was about seven it went like this: sister, daughter, cousin, granddaughter, niece, friend. I remember trying to rack my brain to come up with as many things as I could. Well.. from time to time I'll make a mental note of the changes.. the relationship at the top of the list now is: Mommy. I can't even imagine life without our little man. Following the all important title of Mommy is Wife. Times get crazy lately with work, Jake, school, and all the other things going on in our hectic lives..and I do admit I take that role for granted. I am blessed to have an amazing husband who is my partner in parenthood, marriage and all that life throws at as. He is a constant supporter of anything I do in life..and I take that for granted too much. Love you alex!
The list goes on..daughter, sister, friend, Aunt, cousin, niece, friend, best friend, BFF, teammate, daugher in law, sister in law, co-worker, facebook friend (ha!)..and I am VERY lucky to be able to take on these roles and be in relationships with those who surround our family.
Love you & miss you, Gramma Bettie, thanks for the everlasting lessons you taught me.
Whether your list is long or short.. never take those around you for granted!
