Mommy

Dear Everett,

Growing up I always knew that I wanted children. When it came time for me and your dad, Ben, to make the decision to start trying to have kids I was nervous, but excited at the same time. Now that you are here I can't imagine my life without you. People are right, you will love your child more than you thought possible. "E", you are a little miracle. . . and you are MY little miracle. I am amazed by you EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can't wait for you to grow up! But I also want you to stay 7 months old forever! I know my life has forever been changed by you, our little bundle of joy, and I couldn't be happier. I am officially a "mommy" and I LOVE IT!

Love,

Your Mommy

Easter Sunday

Yesterday was Easter Sunday and this year was Everett's first time celebrating. Of course I went out and bought "E" an Easter basket complete with candy (which he cannot have yet) and a stuffed zebra that he picked out. I even filled some plastic eggs with candy and I let him shake them to make noise. I was actually scheduled to work all weekend but I took some vacation time Sunday so I could spend the day at home. We went to an early dinner at Chris and Dirk's house around 3:00 and my mom and dad joined us. We had one of my favorite dishes, pesto flank steaks, courtesy of Dirk. Once we finished dinner it was time for me to go back to work. I can't wait until next year when Everett can "find" the eggs:)
