Birthdays mean something different now

Every year for the past ten years, I would dread birthdays. This year, I didn’t feel like I was an expired tomato! Somehow, God has restored my youth by blessing me beyond comprehension. Mothering Tatum Isabella Knight has allowed me to be young again. How? Well, as I approached my 40’s, The dream of being a mother was fading away quickly. Never had I dreamed that I would be granted the gift of a child, let alone a beautiful little girl.

She had a phenomenal day as well! This was the first time she made it through the whole church service, and she also rode around in my pouch during mom’s showing of her house. What a blessing!

Here’s a rundown of the day via pictures!

Good Morning MOMMY!

Wow! What a day. These fingers sure taste good.

Today, I am not only one year older, I’m renewed in character, motivation and inspiration.

This week, Tatum’s hearing will be taking place. She will be completely my daughter by law. It truly is a beautiful time.
