cheater post

I did this a few weeks ago with my dear friend Jenny. See her post here. We had a blast and I later found out that the same day, on the same street, in the one store we did not go into, Sandra Bullock and baby Louie were shopping. Ah, so close to a real star sighting. Those are pretty rare in San Antonio. I will update again soon. Thanks Jen for letting me cheat and use your post as my own today! love ya and I had a fantastic time. I cant believe I am next to turn 40.

Mama and her boys...Happy Mother's Day

Dear Harrison,
I love your cute dimples and the way you laugh. It brings me joy when you say, "again mama, again." You feel all your emotions completely. When you are happy you clap your hands, pump your fists and yell with excitement. When you are mad or sad you are full of tears, lots of yelling and often some kicking too. I love that if I'm not the one with you when you wake up or put you to bed, your first words of the day are, "where's mama?" and your last words of the day are, "Mama lay with me." Your passion inspires me.
Love, Mama

Sweet Jackson,
You are growing up too fast. You are now reading, it is truly incredible. You are such a good friend and kind. You love to help others and are a huge help around the house. I feel like you are really learning self control and trying hard to be your best. I love how now I hear your father and I in your words and actions (that can be good and bad.) You are warm and loving. Your face lights up when you see me, you hold my hand and aren't embarrassed if I kiss and hold you in front of your friends. You bring me such joy.
Love, your best girl (what he likes to call me)

Dearest Max,
You are the best thing to happen to us. I love how you are just starting to explore the world. You are getting really grabby and wanting to see all around you. This age is great though, you cant really crawl (though yesterday you did a little bit), but you are so happy to be on the floor. This means I don't have to worry yet about you getting into things. I'm sad that you are pretty much done with nursing but know you are just growing up. You wake up happy and go to sleep peaceful. I love putting you to bed and scratching your head and playing with your hair. Your brothers love you to pieces, in fact your first crawling was to get to Harrison. We cant wait to get to know your personality.
Lots of love, Mama
