So, seven years ago today - wearing a pumpkin t-shirt and pumpkin socks - I gave birth to our first born son, YOU. What a blessing, what an honor. You are such a fabulous kid. You were also the surprise of my life. We had adopted Victoria because I was told I would probably not be able to have kids. HA ! I've since given birth to you and your two brothers!
Did you know I was already 10 weeks along by the time I found out I was pregnant with you, because I didn't really think it was possible, and pretty much just thought my body was going crazy :) So I got a little treat so sweet on Halloween 2003.
There are so many things I love about you. Of course I love you - just for being you. I love your brain and the logical way you think. I love how protective you are of me, and your family. I love how you are so sweet and gentle with James. I love how affectionate you are with me, and how you still crave private time with your mama. I love how you play Chess. You are doing so well in 1st grade. You scores are super high and your teacher says you read way above your age level. I love hearing you read out loud. I could go on and on - but just know you are so very special and I adore every inch of you - inside and out :)
Meanwhile - here are two pics of me wearing the pumpkin t-shirt. One when I was 9 months pregnant, and one today - taken with my iPhone, not great quality - but I am wearing the same Orange shirt I wore 7 yrs ago today! Yeah, it's kinda big on me now, but it's sentimental, so who cares ?!
and of course here is your newborn picture !
Love, MOM
