I brought treats for his classmates at school. This is him on his way home (Jamba juice Friday is his favorite).Oh, dear me! I am a sentimental boob tonight. Six years and three hours ago I became a Mother to my sweet, sweet boy, James. I remember holding him in the hospital, rocking him, and crying. Oh how I cried! I bore my heart to Heavenly Father in gratitude that I had never before felt. How could he possibly entrust me with such a gift? Tonight I am reminded of that tender feeling and all the memories that surround my first few weeks of motherhood. The miracle of it all, is that my gratitude is even more profound now as I am busy loving my three perfect boys...each their own, with separate personalities and features.
I am a Mother and today I long to hold the baby that has faded into a silly six year old boy...Happy Birthday James. I am honored to call you my son.

I can't believe that we have six year olds! Sometimes, I try to tell life to wait for me, but it never listens! :D
He is a cutie!(really, all your boys are cuties!)
I swear it was yesterday that James and I were on our backs smiling at each other on the golf course green. Remember that? Sigh... Bittersweet! He is such a handsome, grown up little man, and yet I still miss his strong clap and big smile when he got excited...lol, remember that too? When did he stop doing that? Anyway, I love you James! I miss you! Happy birthday!
