Getting Started

Until now I have not given in to bloging. But this week Jason drew me a picture that made me change my mind. I started back to work two weeks ago and so I am much much busier. Tuesday morning this week Jason was busy doing something while I was getting ready for work. When it was time to eat breakfast he brought me this picture and it just melted my heart. I love it. I took it to work and hung it by my computer screen. Normally I put these things in a pile that I would someday put in a scrap book. And since I am a year behind on the scrapbooking and two years on his baby book, I was thinking there was no way I was going to capture this moment anywhere...hence the blog.

Now that I am working he wants to remind me he loves being home with me.

This picture is our house and our two smiley faces. Jason loves to draw rainbows, this is his rainbow he has been drawing for the last couple years. The heart at the bottom has an arrow and it says mom. At first I dont even know where he learned to draw a heart with an arrow, but I think it must be something Kiera showed him.

I love this boy. He is such a blessing in my life in so many ways. I had no idea what a joy and treasure a child can be. How much fun, how much love, and how much growth and challenge it all is. Sometimes I look at him and I just see the most beautiful child ever. Other times I see myself and I appreciate a bit more who I am and what I need to work on. And mostly I see Jason and I am fascinated with who he is, and what he will do next. I am very curious to discover what he thinks and how he works and what makes him laugh. These moments of wonder always surprise me and bring me joy. The chance to be an example to him makes me want to be a better person. The chance that I might be able to teach him something makes me want to use my words very carefully. It is just such an amazing adventure with him.

And since I know I will never really capture this moment this week, I decided I need a blog. And then I can make a blog book (!!!) and have a memory from our busy life. I hope you enjoy my blog!
