My Love
I am in love with Bella. Completely enamoured. She is such a joy to be with...her words melt my heart. Today she looked at me at said..."Mommy, I see me in your blue eyes!". Yesterday she said "Mommy, you're my best friend". And the kicker that gets me every time..."Mommy, I love you".
She is learning so much everyday about the world around her...every moment is a teaching opportunity and she is full of such excitement and independence that it's hard not to smile just looking at her.
This is not to say that there aren't difficult times. My patience is tested daily...but I am able to make it through each day with the prayer of "Lord, give me a gentle spirit and the heart of a child...help me to walk at Bella's pace and see the world through her eyes".
Thank you Jesus for the gift of motherhood.

I am excited for Oliver to be able to articulate the things that are going through his mind. This is a great photo of Bella-- you capture her so perfectly.
I repeated your words of prayer for me and my kiddos. Children are such a blessing, each in their own way which I am learning more and more every day!
You're such a great mamma! I like that hat too! :)
You are right - Motherhood is a wonderful gift! Bella is such a cutie.
She just sounds precious. I can't wait to have babies. This post almost made me cry. Enjoy her, Sara.
My girlfriend sent me your blog address, I don't have time now to read... almost dinner time, I will check back later... but I love that last line 'thank you Jesus for the gift of motherhood'.... AHHHH yep, love it.
see you online later
