Happy birthday Aiden. FIVE.
Test Drive by John Powell on Grooveshark
(Aiden’s very favorite song)
Every year when I do their birthday posts I get so emotional. Looking back through photos, laughing and crying through the memories. Where does the time go? I try with all my might to embrace and capture and cherish every moment, yet I still feel like they are rapidly slipping through my fingertips. Aiden’s actual birthday is Saturday but I wanted to go ahead and post this for him.
Five. sigh. Five years ago I met you for the first time and my heart has never been the same. I knew I would love being a mom, but I had no idea how much. I had no idea my heart was capable of loving the way it does now. I didn’t realize the intensity of it all. You have changed me, helped me and rocked my world in the best way possible. I think about the years from now when you won’t need me the same way and my heart just aches. If I could just bottle up this season, the tone of your voice, the precious things you say and keep them forever and always. Today is everything. The now. The years I always dreamed of.
Aiden your spirit is amazing. Your creativity, your sensitivity. I can’t wait to see where your life leads. I can’t wait to see the man you will become.
There aren’t the words.
As long as I can remember I have wanted to be a mom. And on March 22 that dream came true for the first time. I love you with all my heart & soul sweet boy. Thank you for being more than a dream come true.

awwwww happy happy happy happy birthday to your sweet boy!
My baby boy turned 14 on March 7th and I am just in awe with how fast it all went. I am now 29 weeks pregnant with my 2nd boy (4th child) and just clinging to every moment because I know it will he will be here before i know it and the race will begin … the race to squeeze everything possible out of the precious years they are in our home … oh, how I love being a mom too!
1. Your kids are gorgeous
2. How do you display your photos and 3. How do u store them/ keep organized??
you are so so sweet!!!! I keep them all by folder/date on a hard drive!!! and I display them in frames or printed and strung up with clothespins!!
You are such a wonderful mama. And, as a mama of the two year old boy myself, I feel every word you write about your kids – worries, concerns, incredible happiness, all things. When I became a mama, I became so strong and so weak at the same time. Every time I look at my boy, I feel my heart will just burst into million pieces because of how much I love him…
All the best!
p.s. Please don't mind my English, I'm not a native speaker
You are such a pretty family. I really love your pics <3
You have such a beautiful family! Amazing pictures! <3
