It’s still crazy to me to think that I’m a MOM. It’s such a blessing and quite a huge calling. It’s the most important thing you can do. I can’t believe God has entrusted me with this little guy. Part of me wants to hold onto him FOREVER and keep him in a bubble to “protect” him, and another part of me wants to be so obedient to God and send him on his way into this harsh world as equipped as I can possibly help him to become.  When I look at him my heart starts to hurt, because I realize I love him so much and I will never be able to completely protect him from this harsh world. He will get hurt and I can’t stop it. That scares me, but such is life. All I can do is to love him and help shepherd him and prepare him to become independent, while depending on the Lord.

This was my first “official” Mother’s day (last Mother’s Day he was in my belly). We had Brian’s mom and sister and family over to celebrate. We shared a meal (Fuzzy’s Tacos… mmmm..) and indulged in some yummy cupcakes. Here are some photos of the moms, as well as, Brady and his cousin, Alexis. (Yes, this is 2 months delayed. Sorry.)
