Look who's three...

Our sweet boy... you're finally three!  We have been talking about your big birthday now for weeks!  Wondering how much you would understand about the significance of this wonderful day in our lives, and to our surprise you were very aware of the fact that on your birthday you were born.  We talked about how mommy and daddy were able to finally hold you and see you in the flesh for the very first time ever!  And during our account of your birth story you just cuddled in my lap and melted my heart...  Jonah my sweet love we recognize that you are in our lives because we are blessed! Blessed by God who loves us so much to be faithful to us in ways that only He could be... He continues to be the unfailing love in our lives.  As God continues to pen your life story we see how God is working in and through your life.  We are so grateful to be apart of this journey and excited to see His plans for you, our promise...

Turning three?

I must say tonight is filled with so many emotions...  Tonight as I put you to bed, I was coming to the realization that tonight would be the last time I was going to kiss my two year old little boy... Along with many more "last"...  Reminds me of this night three years ago.  Emotions flooded me as I knew that in a few short hours our lives would forever be changed...  My sweet Jonah, it's seems as though yesterday I was looking into your eyes for the first time...  All wrapped up and brand new, a moment that will forever be etched within my heart.

I held you tonight as you fell asleep in my arms and all I could see was my precious baby boy...  Regardless of how old you are, you will always be my baby boy.  Jonah you are such a blessing and you bring so much joy to our lives.  We are forever grateful to our Heavenly Father for your life.  Thankful for the truth that brought us to the place where we could look to Him and trust for your creation...  Even though my flesh desire for time to slow down I am fully aware that God has plans for you... and time has been put in motion for His purpose.  So as time will not slow down, I will be sure and cherish you in the little and big things... I will take time to play animals, I will take time to stop and wrap you in my arms as cleaning the house can wait, I will take time to read you stories, I will take time to rock you...

My sweet Jonah I will take time to love you...       ~Mommy
