Rafael: One Year Old!



Happy First Birthday to the most amazing little person...my son Rafael!!!

I thank God every day for my cuddly, funny, smart, healthy, happy little boy. He is everything I ever hoped and wished for, the fulfillment of my most precious dream.

Today he came to me for hugs and cuddles about a hundred times, always saying 'Mama' and rubbing his face against me. Melting my heart!

Thank you all for joining me on this journey of motherhood, and for always being here with advice and kindness. I appreciate it so much.

Here's to another beautiful year spent getting to know my sweet son, and making every together day special.

  16. Dawn, while reading "The Supper Book" by Marion Cunningham, I came across a Gladys Tabor quote that I thought you might like. (I think I remember you saying you loved her work)

    "In my family, we have always found that eating together aids family solidarity. When we face serious problems, we have a way of saying, 'Well, let's have supper first.' We find that tensions ease and difficulties can be handled after we have gathered around the table and had a good meal." -- Gladys Tabor, "My Own Cookbook"

    Your blog sounds like you are back to your usual self.....thought you might have been a little depressed on the previous post; hope you resolved what was bothering you.

    Have a great day!!
