Thankful

Recently, while I was visiting family in Utah, I heard a couple stories of families who had lost children to the fast-moving rivers there. I also came across this blog a while ago and was overwhelmed with sadness at the thought of something so horrible happening to these young parents.

Whenever I hear of someone losing a young child, my thoughts always turn to my little Jackson. I can't imagine what I would do if I ever lost him. There would be such a void in our little family if he wasn't in it. Hearing these stories also makes me want to be a better mother and cherish every moment I have with my sweet little boy. There are days that I just wish I could sleep in or have some alone time or get a job, but ultimately, there is nothing I would rather do than take care of this sweet face

He is growing up so fast, I can't believe it! He is now sleeping in a "big boy bed" and is doing so great with it. I am so proud of my little guy and what a happy, smart, fun-loving kid he is. I can't wait to see what our next little boy will be like :o)
