mother's day 2012

What an amazing responsibility God has given us as a parent!  I am still in awe of the wonderful and precious gift God has blessed Derek and I with :)  I will always remember the day God spoke to me and told me to wait on His timing to have children and the gift of Joel has been more than I could have ever imagined!!  God has a way of doing that :) 


There are so many things I love about Joel:

• his smiles
• his little "conversations" he has with me
• his sleepy face
• the way he tries to eat my neck when he is hungry
• watching him learn how to talk
• watching him sleep
• watching him enjoy his daddy
• the many noises he makes

I know God has a great plan for my little Joel and I can't wait to see how God will continue to use him!  I love being Joel's mommy :)
