365 days of fun

let me just say that this should be my favorite post of these past few months of blogging but it has become my worst nightmare!! i have been working on this 365 day video of henry for the past two weeks. everytime i try to link it to the blog it won't work! i am so not computer literate even though i like to think i am but really- i am far from it! so anyways- enough about my griping but i just had to get it out & vent a little. not to mention- i wrote a little paragraph about this post the other night as a draft and then i was just going to come back the next day to work on posting the video....i thought i had saved it but i guess not because it was ALL gone! so, i will try again and i hope it will be just as good. :)

the past year has flown by so fast and has definitely been the best year in my life. before i had henry i always wondered why my friends with kids were so "obsessed" with their kids- i mean, it was in a good way- don't get me wrong- but i really didn't get it. i knew how much fun kids were- i loved Lucy like crazy & i loved being around kids but it really didn't hit me until that exact moment the nurse put henry in my arms for the first time. the emotion overflowed. two days later when we couldn't take him home from the hospital i had to get brett to make phone calls to our family about it all because i couldn't even speak i was so upset. the thought of anything happening to my new little buddy just overwhelmed me. i was not one to cry when i was pregnant or after when i got home with him- maybe because it all came out of me that day in the hospital! what i am trying to say is i TOTALLY understand why my friends are so "obsessed". i became obsessed at that very moment- 6:42 am november 27th 2007. every day he has brought us smiles & laughs. he makes me want to get out of bed in the morning even on those days when i am so exhausted!!!

my boss, cindy, was very sweet and gave me such a fun baby shower a few weeks before henry was born. when she mailed out the invitations she included a small piece of paper and had everyone right down a piece of advice for me. i will never ever forget what my mom wrote. it made me cry that day & it makes me cry every time i read it now. here is her two cents:

"Soon you will have someone else to love and you will know why i love you so much".

it is so true. i never knew how much my mom & dad have loved me until i had been blessed with henry. i am just thankful to the Lord for this beautiful gift that he has given us. he is a miracle and i am so excited to share his past year with you. enjoy the video.....i think it is kind of cute!
