Do you see that?

Do you see those freckles on his nose and under his eyes?? Well I was a little excited about them for two reasons.... The first is a little silly so I will explain it first; An individual made the remark to me while I was pregnant that they hoped my son did not have my red hair and freckles ( this was followed by... because no one can pull that off like you) however, that remark stung and I know that this little child will be gorgeous red hair, freckles, or whatever else may come so I was a little spiteful over my joy in these freckle ( aha! Ill show you I thought)... see wasn't that silly, but there is a deeper reason for my love of those little brown spots.... When I was born I was adopted, which really is a beautiful thing, however, my whole life I have wondered who I look like. Everyone else looks like their family, but I was kinda alone in that area.. until this little booger came along and by the grace of God I saw the cutest little pug nose in that ultrasound picture and I thought, "there he is, a little piece of me.....finally someone who will look like me".... well the pug nose part at least :) and there are moments when I see a little flicker of red in his hair ( which may be in my head, I know) and then I saw these freckles and deep in my heart they are such a reminder of what a art of me he is and it makes my heart so happy!

BeAcH BumS!!!

So this little pic under here has a special meaning for me. This little boy of mine LoVes me! i know I know you already know that, but he really loves me, I mean can't get enough of me, wants to hold my hand 24-7 (literally) wants me right by him, with him, every minute of every day! And while it may be selfish, I kinda smile inside when he only wants Mommy to do things for him. Now, there are moments where I think please Lord, just a minute alone? But there are so many more amazing moments when I look at the positive little treasure of flattery that this child brings to me. In life, there is so much rejection... you know, the boy that didn't like you growing up, the girl that called you a name, the person who honked and flicked you off because you made an eensie little driving error :) and the list goes on of all of the hurt we pile up on our hearts... so I took this picture to help me remember to treasure every minute I get to treasure with this little angel of adoration who will one day too soon be running off too fast for me to get my kiss and then I will wish he wanted to hold my hand ( even if its while i use the potty). (So you see, I cant even take his picture with out him begging..please mommy, hold my hand! and instead of being sad that I might have missed some great shots, I will be happy that he wants to just hold my hand)

*pure sweetness*

ANd then there is this photo of my best friend.....which also makes me smile
