M...

...is for ma/mommy/mama. The best job in the world! To Jaden, I'm ma. To Gabrielle, I'm mom or mommy. And to Corinn, I'm still mama. :0) As a child, a mommy was what I wanted to be when I grew up. There were times when I aspired to be a teacher, a vet, and even a doctor. But being a mommy is something I always knew I'd become - regardless of what profession I chose to go in to.

...is for mom. I love and appreciate my mom more than she'll ever know! She's always there for me - a walking buddy, a shoulder to cry on, a baby sitter regardless of the notice given, a source of wisdom and advise, a friend to share a good laugh with, a listener & a calming voice of reason when I need it (& she always knows just when I need it!). I only hope that when my children are adults, I have as close of a relationship with them as I do with my mom. :0)


...is for Matthew. Matthew is my brother's son (Sam & his wife Katie) and he just turned one this past September. He is definitely a mama's boy and has taken a while to come out of his shell - but boy, now that he's started walking - he's all over the place! Such a character already and so eager to hang with his older cousins. We just had a cook-out at my parent's house and he sat up at the kiddie picnic table with the rest of the crew and ate all by himself - such a big boy! He actually reminds me a lot of Jaden as a baby. He's mellow and easy to entertain - and just so big and chunky for his age - oh, and can eat like it's nobody's business! ~lol~


...is for Misty. Misty is my BFF, but is more like a sister to me! We've even been asked many times if we are sisters. :0) I talked about Misty in my post a few weeks ago about our recent visit. Misty, her hubby Shane & their 8 month old daughter Willow, live in North Carolina (about a 4 hour drive) and I miss them dearly! I don't know what I'd do without Misty in my life - she's the first person I call when I'm excited, anxious, sad, lonely, anything! I love and miss you Misty! :0)
