To My Boy.

I can't believe it's been 8 years since you arrived.

I remember every minute of the night you were born.

Holding you all night, falling totally in love.  

Thank you for being exactly who you are.

Every freckle.  Every Giggle.  Every Scowl.

You are a wonder.

Magic in motion.

My heart walking around outside my body.

The reason I was born.

Happy Birthday, sweet prince.

Being your mom is the best gift and the biggest honor.

Does this mean you survived the party?

No light saber scars?

Oh, good, 'cause I was worried about you!

This is such a sweet post.

What a great mom you are!

Great post. My husband thinks he's the love of my life - well, he is, just the third in line. Boys are a special gift.

Happy Happy Day for Mom!

So sweet. My big boy just turned 18 and my baby boy turns 8 in December.

Treasure every single moment of him now - they grow up entirely too fast.

On some level, I think that all my blog posts about my kids are love letters to them. This is a beautiful love letter.
