Just for Today
Just For Today "
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh
when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile
and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up
and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach
me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer
off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you
grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand
over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a
Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how
you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch
and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite
TV shows.
Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray, I will
simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing
children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead
of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching
their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it
anymore.
And when I kiss you good night, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer.
It is then that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more
day..."

I read this and it really touched me as a mother...I wanted to include this in my blog to remind me what's important.

Outside
We had a thunderstorm yesterday and it was actually cool enought afterwards to let Avery play outside. She loves to be outside. Here is a pic I took of her. Isn't she pretty? She loves to sit in the grass and play in it.

Bonding Time
Avery and I had a mother-daughter day yesterday. We went take her one year pictures and then went to her one year Well Baby exam at the Dr's office and then shopping! She got new boots for winter. They are brown shearling boots with fur lining(faux fur of course, We bought them at Target!) and furry pom-poms.. She thinks they are funny for some reason. I put them on her and she just laughted!
I was looking at her while we were shopping just so content in the shopping cart, just looking around and being a good girl....Dreading the age that she will make shopping harder because she'll throw fits to get what she wants!

Happy Birthday, Avery!!!
Finally uploaded some pics of Avery from her party this weekend!
Today is my sweet pea's 1st Birthday! And she's started walking! Still no teeth though!
I am dragging today..I stayed up till midnight cleaning house..I wasn't tired and we needed laundry done.
On another note....I have officially lost all of my baby weight plus 5 lbs!!! I put on 46 lbs when I was pregnant and it is still coming off. I have been watching what I eat but I think running after Avery and working some on my eliptical machine helped too.
