10

Regrets? Yes...not enjoying and living in the moment more often. It sounds so cliche' but time really does just fly by and nothing matters but the lives of these sweet precious spirits sent to our homes. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Hopes? Yes...to enjoy more abundantly the sweet precious moments that I have left...time is ticking the wrong way for me now. 9 years and counting...Nothing else matters. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Stop and think about the great eternal picture and what we would regret the most...I would regret nothing more then wasting the moments I have here on earth with these, my little wonders. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

It is a daily struggle and a daily battle to remind myself that the chaos and hoopla we sign ourselves up for is really nothingness. Nothing next to teaching them that they are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. They are my purpose- my teachers-my heartache-my joy- my love- my everything...everything...everything.

Here's to a decade of motherhood with one of the most noble sons (in my very bias opinion) sent to this earth.

You may be his mother, but you are right...he is an incredibly noble spirit. I've never known a more sensitive boy. One who oozes goodness and joy. I love him and hope his decade birthday is super wonderful!

Oh James James James. I can't believe he's 10 years old, and I can't believe you only have 9 years left with him at home with you. How did that happen? It seems like just yesterday I was sitting on your living room floor in San Jose rolling a ball back and forth with him...I love James. I hope, hope, hope, that Jake is just like him in so many ways!
