4 years ago today I became a mom. And I soon learned that the things people say about it is true... it is the hardest thing I've ever done, but also the most rewarding!!! Jackson pretty much was the perfect child, until he turned 3 and then he started testing us and it has been non-stop ever since!!! However, I wouldn't change a thing!!! Especially times like yesterday afternoon when he stood in my bedroom doorway with his hands on his hips and said to me "don't you give me that look, Mom"! but then turns around and tells me he loves me and gives me a big kiss and hug. I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I have had to be this little boys mom!!! It's the best thing that I have ever done.
fyi... the first picture is of Jackson when he was one and then the second one was taken today... when he turned 4 years old!!!
We took Jack, Zach & Brady to Chuck E. Cheese today and although it was fun and the kids seemed to enjoy it, it's something that I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN. Way too crazy, and to be quite honest, not my kind of place!!! But at least now we can say that we've done it!!!

Shan, ditto on everything about being a mom. While I love it and wouldn't want to change a thing, I am counting down the minutes to bedtime as I type this!! Thanks for taking the boys...they had so much fun. We love Jack so much...I'm so glad our boys are such good friends, like their moms!!
Love you tons,
Meg
