Mommy's Here

I heard Graham crying this morning at around 4am. (Those who know Graham, this is pretty unusual) I checked the monitor and he was doing his usual stand-n-sway back and forth holding onto the crib rails. It was sort of a scared cry. When I enter the room he had his arms stretched out like, "rescue me mama." And I did. I grabbed him and started to rock him. He was immediately soothed. I held him and he held me. I rubbed his back. He was at complete peace. It was then that I realized how incredible it was that I had the ability to make everything ok for this child. Me, just me. I could take all his worries away. Just by holding him and being me. I realize I need to cherish these moments while they are here. Being a parent is so incredible. As Graham grows I will always be there for him, but I will not always be enough. So, for now, "Mommy's here" will suffice.

Welcome Friends and Family!

Well, I have been meaning to start this for quite some time. I will admit it is for selfish reasons because I think of things all the time that I would like to post and have no where (but my journals, of course) to post them. The status line on my facebook page is just not adequate. So here I am. And I will be speaking for "we" a lot and in "we" I usually mean Tim, Graham, Bubba (formally named Oliver the dog), and soon our little Gavin.

I am hoping this works as a new form of communication for those we care about and those who care about us. I should probably mention that I am making no promises as to how often I can post and I will try super hard to keep up with this. I am hoping it will inspire me to take more pictures also :) Life seems to be going by so fast and I want to use this a reminder of all the wonderful things that happen in our every day lives. Another un-promise (ha!) or disclaimer I guess, is that I am not a writer! I want this to be an outlet for me rather than a task and I want it to be especially positive. I welcome comments from all!!!

I am sooooo excited for this new adventure!

So, here we go!
