Children's Day and Advice


I think Mother's Day should be renamed, "Children's Day" because if it weren't for them, there wouldn't be a Mother's Day. Just a thought.

Anyway, this was my second Mother's Day and it was very special. On any holiday, I always wake up on the verge of tears. Anyone else???? Why is that? Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, childs birthday. I am always on the emotional side. One wrong word or sweet kiss and I am done. So, Rusty had written me this letter that verified once again how much he loves me and what a lucky woman I am. The very first, "Dear Can", the tears began to come. Then, I read Jameson's card and opened my gifts and tears still came. It was a great start to my very special day.

Mother's Day is just a reminder to me of how blessed I am to have Jameson. He is my life and the joy of my day. It is also a reminder of how lucky I am to have a mom. I love my mom so very much. She is my best friend. I guess I get so emotional because I know how blessed I am. God gives us these days to remind us just how much He has given us. I am so very thankful that he allows me to celebrate Mother's Day.

Now, on to the advice part. Jameson has started biting at daycare. He has bitten a child all three days this week and once last week. Any moms been through this or going through this? Give me some pointers on how to stop it. We have tried everyting. Im afraid I am going to start receiving hate mail from some moms if it doesn't stop soon. Help!


This sweet little face will bite you! Hard to believe isn't it.

Where does the time go?

Saturday was our 6 year anniversary! On Friday, Rusty took me to a cute little bed and breakfast. We are lovers of b&b's. We laughed Sat. when we left because we were by far the youngest one's there. We are old at heart. Anyway, J stayed with my mom Friday night and was a perfect angel according to my mom (who, by the way, would say that even if he had burned her house down). Russ and I had a great time together. It was nice to relax. It seems like the years pass by more quickly now. Could just be me.

The past six years have been amazing for me. I know that Russ is my true mate. Who else could put up with my mood swings and demands. I am so very thankful that we fell in love so many years ago.  (most of you know we fell in love in elementary school) so I won't bore you with that story again. If you care to hear it again, just leave a comment and I will be happy to share! Anyway, lots of things have changed in the past 6 years (for the better). The one thing that brings me the most happiness is, the way our love changes each year. I truely do love Rusty more today than I did when we got married. There is so much love and respect in my heart and in our marriage. The only way to keep that love growing is through God. I know this is the only reason we are still happily married as well. You can't make it without Him. I love you Russ. You are an amazing, Godly husband and father. I love being your wife and love going to b&b's with you even though we are the younest one's there. Happy Anniversary! I love you. Thanks for making me so happy. You're cooler than the flip side of my pillow baby.

So, here is where we went. It was the neatest little place.





This is the face I couldn't wait to get home to! The other love of my life.
