Happy 14th Birthday Zachary!!!

I can't believe that Zachary is 14 today....It seems like he was born just yesterday. I know that everyone says that so much that it is a cliche, but it really does seem that way! One day you are holding this precious new baby and then the next day you are waving bye as they enter high school! I remember wanting a baby so bad and then the day I found out I was pregnant I panicked - afraid that I was too young, or not going to be a good mom, and so many other thoughts. But the day Zachary was born was a very happy day for me - I was finally going to have the baby I always wanted. And it was love at first sight! To hold this precious baby that God blessed us with was just the most awesome feeling in the world! Now 14 years later and I couldn't love him more! I am so proud of him and what he is becoming! I just pray that God will keep His hand on Zachary in the years to come and that he becomes the man God wants him to be! Happy birthday Zachary - I love you with all my heart!!

Happy 7th Birthday Zane!!!

I can't believe that Zane is 7 today....It seems like he was born just yesterday. In fact, I remember going to the hospital very early on September 3, 2002 wondering if I could have enough love to share with a new baby. I didn't know if it was possible to love each child the same.....boy, was I ever wrong! Almost the instant they put Zane in my arms, it was like my heart grew even bigger to contain this new fould love for him!!! Now, I can't and don't want to imagine my life without Zane! God knew exactly what He was doing by adding Zane to our family....Zane actually completed our family! And now he's growing so fast....I am so proud of him and what he is becoming! I just pray that God will keep His hand on Zane in the years to come and that he becomes the man God wants him to be! Happy birthday Zane - I love you with all my heart!!

Back to School!

Wow...I can't believe that summer is already over and that school has started! I am one of those Moms that hates school to start but loves some quite 'me' time too!! I have so many mixed emotions at this time of the year. Zane started back to school on August 19th. He is in the first grade and has the same first grade teacher that Zachary had. We are happy because we think Mrs. Dobbs is a really good teacher! Zachary started back to school on August 24th. He in now officially a high school student...in the 9th grade. He likes all of his teachers so far this year. We are so proud of our boys - they are so smart and handsome! I thank God for them all the time because He blessed us with them! Oh yeah....we have our moments, don't get me wrong! But I wouldn't trade them for all the money in this world!!!
