The Most Beautiful…

So, BJ says to me the other day, “I’m not sure if I’m being biased, but I think Abriana is the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen in my life.” 

Is anyone laughing?  ;-)

First taste

Abriana had her first taste of a banana the other day….it was so cute to see her experience the new texture and taste…her face all quizzical, her mouth in a curious frown….she took it with a bit of hesitation and interest all at the same time.  It was just comical for us.

Just Believe

A friend shared a powerful message today regarding the lack of time I have with Abriana:

 Yesterday and today I’ve been listening to a message from Bishop Joseph Garlington.  He blesses me every time I listen to him, even if it’s a message I’ve heard a dozen times.  He was talking about speaking out loud what we want from God.  I’m not sure if your goal is to stop working permanently to stay home with Abriana or work part time or whatever.  But name it out loud, be specific.  And DON’T let the words “how will this happen?” enter your  mind.  The word HOW is poison.  Just name it, trust God and let God do His thing.  I had to do that.  I named exactly what I wanted, in great detail and I’m going to leave it alone.  God knows our heart and only He can make our desires a reality. 

 So, maybe it’s time to stop wishing and start believing….

Yesterday was my birthday and I got the mostest sweetest card from Abriana…she even signed it…how fulfilling it is to have a child….for the first time I almost forgot it was my birthday…I have so much contentment in my life that I don’t have to demand everyone make a big deal out of my birthday. LOL.

Today I spent about 20 minutes with my child … max.  How sad is that?  Why are there not more hours in a day?  Why is it that BJ gets to spend more time with her than I do?  How did all of this happen?
