Transitioning

My little Kade has now transitioned into the 1 year old class at his daycare. While this might sound like a big accomplishment and the teachers might tell me every day how great he is doing, it makes me very sad. I mean, who said that he could grow up? And, who says I am ready for that? Dropping him off has become much more difficult. He and Lola did move together, which helps ease my mind a little bit. However, they are much younger looking than the others and the ratio is different. Therefore, it seems like a million kids and then my little kade standing in the middle of a room full of strangers. Please tell me it is harder on me. My desire to be at home with my baby is creeping back in with a raging force. Please keep this momma in your prayers. I know the Lord is watching over my baby. I just have to pray for my own anxiety level. Until next time.

Matthew 6: 33-34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Pics from the Party

Happy Birthday, Lola! Happy Mardi Gras all!

I will post some pics later. Kade and I have had a fun filled day. We had a sleep over at Granna's house. When Chad and his whole family said they were spending the night...we suddenly felt left out. So, we all stayed! Kade and I slept on a matress in the floor. It was great. (Kevin=work=yuck) Then, after a nice jog, we headed to Lola's birthday girl. This is the one that always steals my kisses! After the party, Kade and I strolled down the rode to the Mardi Gras parade and caught some beads. His first! It was fun, and he sported the bling bling beads he caught. Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday with your family. Now, we are with daddy doing what we all love most...relaxing at the hizouse!

VO2, this am i ran 4 miles in approximately 38 minutes and 15 seconds. it was exhilarating. I could feel the lbs shedding off my physique. so, i rushed to the party to indulge in some sugary bday cake with a spoon full of ice cream. however, i did leave half the dessert on the plate..i hear that's a good way to start. and cholesterol can be good too..HDL or LDL, which is doc referring to? maybe you heard incorrectly and he was congratulating you on the high HDL quantity. And, you've taken up jogging. slap hands!

The Past Year

I can't even begin to gather all of my thoughts to write anything worthy that explains how I feel about my first year of motherhood. God has done a mighty work in this house. I should thank him every second I breathe for giving me such a wonderful family. It makes you even more thankful of the rest of your family, down to the parents of your grandparents. I feel like the values they instilled in my grandparents absolutely made my mother and father the Godly couple they are and example they are to all of us in the family. My precious grandparents surprised me for Kade's first birthday. I was jokingly (well, maybe I really wanted them to succumb) calling them often saying how sad it was they had to miss Kade's Birthday. Well, low and behold...mom watched Kade Friday night so Kevin and I could have a Valentine's Dinner and they were at mom's when we got there! So fun! It would not have been the same without them. Thank you Mamaw and Papaw for repeatedly showing your love to your family...you are sooooo appreciated!
Then, we come to my parents who would literally lay down their lives for a stranger. I can't express how much I love and appreciate all they do for me and our entire family. Selfless and unconditional love is all I can say. If I could just be 1/2 of the parents they are to me, I would be happy.
Now, we get to Kade. Aside from my salvation and my husband, the greatest gift God has given me. It is truly the purest love. That little booger can keep me awake every hour of the day and night and still totally and absolutely win my heart over again and again. I am consumed with love for this person. I truly can not believe he was given to me and Kevin. Looking at back at those pictures where he is swaddled up like a glow worm just make me see how fast life can pass us by. Now, he is walking around like he is something....and he is! I hope all of you reading have had the chance to meet this amazing little person. I look forward to every moment I share with him and it is my prayer that God will use him to glorify Him in this world in all that he does.


VO2, walking 1 mile and running 1 mile is really no different. You still burn about 100 calories per mile..so they say. DVR is hard to give up, but maybe we have to start doing so? Yuck. Love you, skinnywannabeya

Smooches All Day

More Birthday Pics!!!

Please note Lola...Kade's little lady at school. She tries to steal my kisses! Lola is the one that in the first week of school the teacher said Kade put his arm around her and laid one right on the smackers. It was love at first sight.

The Birthday Boy!!!

There will be many more pictures to come, but here are a few for those of you anticipating the Prince!

Home with my Baby

Well, we are getting ready for the big day tomorrow. My baby Kade will be 1!!!! He is growing so fast and I am in awe at the new things he does on a daily basis. Kevin and I were watching him clap this morning and we just love this age. He is walking and loves to just pop up and take off. He waves and even says a few little words and may more that we just can't understand. What a joy motherhood is! Thank you, Jesus, for this precious baby boy! I am home today just hanging out with my little man and we are about to take a yo baby pie to daycare to celebrate with some friends.

Please come!
