first christmas



For sweet Isaac, Christmas came and went. He slept through most of it...the reading of the Christmas story, the opening of gifts, pictures galore. Isaac will have no recolection of that day, but Keith and I will remember it always. Isaac is such a wonderful gift, our most memorable and precious ever.

I always thought that becoming a mother would change me somehow. That I would wake up and feel different...more mature, more capable, more sacrificial, more unconditional, more...just, well...more. However, I feel the same...I'm still me...except now, I'm just filled with MORE LOVE. More love for Keith...more than I ever thought possible. I just look at him I get all melty inside...I'm falling in love all over again. New love for my son Isaac, a love that consumes my heart with every wimper, cry, sigh, look, smirk, and tear. Love for our new family of three and the ties that bind us. We've already been through so much together and it's only been 10 days.



I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Blessings from our family to yours!

Oh, no, I can't believe you did it... I have tears running down my face... I love the pictures of Isaac, you 3, and everything you wrote! What a sweet, sweet boy! I cannot wait to meet him to hug and love on him and both of you! I am so thankful you have this blog. I wish I could be closer, but for this moment in time, this blog keeps me close. Thank you!
