one whole year

I have a toddler now? Really? My sweet darling baby boy is no longer a "baby" in technical terms, but I will always think of him as one. This past year has been the most memorable in my whole life. Motherhood has matured and re-shaped me, and the blessings that come with watching a child grow are priceless. It has tried my patience to no end, but this has made me stronger as a wife & mother. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has entrusted us with such a wonderful,happy human being.
