So for me today is the real Mother's Day. Three years ago today I became a mom. I can't believe it's been three years already. I look at Grace and get amazed that she is a kid now, not a baby any more. You've got to marvel at the elasticity of time - it seems like just yesterday she was tiny, but it is also almost impossible to remember life without her. Once you have a kid you have to admit that when all those other parents said "You can't imagine how great it is until you have children" they were actually right. And who knew I had the ability to feel such a ferocious love for a creature - I'd do anything in my power to protect my two kids. I could actually imagine throwing myself in harm's way to keep them safe - I never felt this way for anything before having these guys.
Jim and I look at Grace and Alex and feel very fortunate. Two beautiful children that brighten and enhance our lives exponentially. As Grace would say, "I love my family".
