I owe it all to you.


Nolan and I celebrated Mother's Day without our Daddy this year. 
Rob was & still is finishing a job up North so he wasn't able to 
come home for the weekend. I was sad at first and then realized the whole
reason I was celebrating this holiday to begin with
was because of this boy. It changed my view completely and it
 ended up being a lovely, simple day. 

I owe so much to this little guy. 
He has pulled me through some rough times. 
He was the one that kept me going when all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and hide.
And he has brought more joy and fulfillment into my life then I ever knew was possible.
Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Father for this precious boy that is my son.

*Excuse this very delayed post. I'm not used to this single mom thing. I'm a little behind these  days.

You're the most amazing mother in the world. Happy Mother's Day. Sorry I missed it this year. I love you.

Well Ian wasn't out of town, but he was super duper sick and spent the whole day in bed sleeping while I took 3 kids to church bymyself and ended up not getting my annual breakfast in bed, Mothers day nap, and day off from changing diapers. I had to do the same thing as you and remind myself that I should be happy to do these things for my family.

That picture of you and Nolan is awesome. Love it.

Such beautiful words to describe such a beautiful calling.

Nolan is all of a sudden so grown up! (I think I've mentioned that before).
