Mixed Emotions...

As I was sitting at our computer looking through our pictures, it hit me like a ton of bricks that this is the last month that Noah will be 1. He turns 2 in less than a month, and for some reason I can't find just the right word to describe how it makes me feel. Joyful, saddened, teary, scared, proud and yet all of the above fit perfectly. My Mom always said that I would never understand a Mother's love until I had my own children. She said that I would hurt when they hurt and I would rejoice when they rejoiced and never in my life has she been so right. I can only hope and pray that I can be the kind of Mom to Noah that mine was and still is to me.

Our Family is Growing!!

Last week Noah and I needed to get out of the house.  Racking my brain for an idea that was cheap and fun along with a little educational, I came up with the idea to head down to Cabellas.  Free is even better than cheap and it was well worth the 20 minute drive.  Noah LOVED the fish and has been talking about them since.  He loved them so much we went back down again a second time when Clair could go with us.  Again Noah loved looking at the fish.  So here we are a week later and Noah is now the owner of 2 goldfish yet to be named.  He loves them and fishy is the first word out of his mouth in the morning and the last word he says at night before he falls asleep.  It's fun to see him happy and wanting to help out with feeding the fish.  We will see how it goes when it comes time to clean the tank.
