HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR PRINCESS

A day late but not a dollar short. LOL When I finally got home yesterday I just didn't have the energy to site down and write something to our Princess.

It was a year ago yesterday that Sarah Elizabeth Harmond was born to this earth. That year has been a joy. You have been such a sweet and easy going baby. You did have your moments but like all Princesses full of joy and life. I can't believe how much you have grown. You have 4 teeth and I think just maybe more coming in the near future. You are up and standing and want to walk so badly. Your smile when you see me coming must melts my heart. Boy do I NOT have worries about you and your dealings with your brothers. You can be girly girly one moment and tackling your brothers with a vengance. You bring sunshine and love in this house like no one can. I can't wait for the day we as mother and daughter can go have our nails done, our feet done and celebrate in a girly way the day you were born.

I am sorry this birthday was not the big broo haha it was supposed to be but I am just thankful to God above for your smile, your laugh, your cries, your hugs and your kisses. I will be your mommy forever. My prayer for you today and always is that God shines brightly in your eyes and your life. That your love of God will be bold and for all to see. That you are blessed with many riches (both spiritually and physically) under God's dreams for you.

I just love you very much my little Sarah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary Baby!

Seven years ago today ( well the date anyway) I married the man of my dreams. Richard, I love you more than my own life. I thank God everyday for placing you in my life. He certainly has a sense of humor.

You have been my rock, my lover, my friend, and my brother in Christ. You are the father of our children whom you have such love and patience for. You are a man of principle and have a sense of humor that to this day sometimes I don't get... :) Even when things seem to be falling apart around me you are the rock and solid and most importantly soft place to fall.

How you put up with me and all my faults and moods I'll never know. I just know that my life would be nothing without you by my side.

I repeat again here part of my vows "where every you go I will go, where ever you live so shall I live, your people will be my people and your God will be my God too."

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A true 2

WOW talk about 2 year old personalities. Robert has them all right now.

"NO NO NO" "NO I don't want that" "I want thaaaaaaaaat". Tantrums wow kicking walls, throwing things when he is angry. Hitting everything and everybody when he is upset or angry.

Caleb didn't go this far into the 2 year old personality. But, then again his whole life experiences has been different coming from a Chinese orphanage.

We are trying to teach him that when he gets angry he needs to stop and take a deep breath (0r 2). Of course consequences like: no ice cream after supper because you didn't eat yours and then dumped your plate on the table/floor; no lollipops because you made a bad choice is not listening to your teachers today and had to go to time out ___ times; no movies today because ___________. As hard as some of these are for mommy perseverance in these consequences will hopefully teach him right manners, good morals values, how to treat others and in some instances how to treat himself.

Todays goal for him: make good choices in school today, be nice to his friends (what they call classmates), and listen to Mrs. Janie and Mrs. Keri. If I get a good report when I pick him up he gets to have to prize desired LOLLIPOP.
