I'm Back

Man, it has been a little while since I have blogged. It has been a pretty busy week or so. DH was gone last week and then I have been sick. Sinus infection from hell! I am finally starting to feel a bit better today.

I had a wonderful mother's day despite feeling a bit under the weather....my parents and DH's family came over for lunch. DH did all the cooking and cleaning! He also let me sleep in which was awesome! I even got the IPOD docking station I wanted so now we can listen to tunes in our sun room or outside on teh patio this summer. The best part of mother's day was being woken up by Izzy busting into my room and saying "Happy Mother's Day!" in her sweet adorable little voice. Priceless!!!!

I really am amazed on a daily basis how amazing this child of mine is! She is so smart and remembers everything!!! I love her little voice, and the adorable things she says. I love watching her experience life, and the pure joy she gets out of the simple things in life. Swinging in the backyard, jumping on the neighbors trampoline. I swear she could do this all day. She loves to play with the big girls next store and would rather play with them, then the other neighbor kids that are her age. They are the big sisters she will never have and she is the little sister they will never have. It is very sweet. I feel so totally blessed to get to be this amazing childs mother!

I can't celebrate mothers day without thinking about C Izzy's birthmother. I really hope she is doing okay. We have not heard anything from her since August and I really miss her. I think I am going to send a little note with some recent pictures to the agency along with our e-mail address again b/c maybe she lost it. I hope the agency still knows where she is. They dont' really tell you that when you call. I really do miss hearing from her and C will always have a piece of my heart. Izzy will always know how much C loves her and gave her the biggest gift she could!

I think Mother's day has really become my favorite "holiday" because it celebrates what I hope is my biggest accomplishment as a person. Being a mother doesn't define who I am as a person but it sure it the part of my life I charish the most. I am truely blessed!
