happy mothers day!

THIS is what we are celebrating today.

my little peanut - she knows her momma

her eyes are opening so wide!

we love taking her with us on outings.
here we were at the park, cloud gazing and looking at ducks

even the tiniest things like how she crumples
up in her cat seat are irresistibly cute

mommy is enjoying her daughter!

she's starting to smile!

crazy smile!

yippee!!!!!!!

mommy hair

bronwyn is confused by my need to document the mommy hair

she finally cooperates with the documentation of the mommy hair

baby + newsie hat = fun

she knows she's cute

her head is big enough for bows now!

sometimes the bow isn't so fun
but notice how even in this pic, she's still cute =)

love this face

my little socialist baby always
sleeps with her "power to the
people" fist =)

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; The fruit of the womb is a reward.

— Psalm 127:3-4

We've been enjoying Bronwyn in new ways recently - admiring her cuteness and realizing just how much she is changing and growing each day. We're taking pictures like crazy (obviously) because we want to remember this. Every mom we meet tells us to savor the days because they go by so fast. And so we are trying to follow that advice. This mother's day I'm simply thankful for the opportunity. The opportunity to watch Bronwyn grow, to witness the miracles of change each and every day. Its not always easily, and its certainly not restful, but seriously, how can I not stand amazed that this little person grew with me for 9 months and now she continues to grow and change and develop. Thank you Lord for the precious gift of this child, of Bronwyn Joy.
