Beyond Blessed

I'm not a very patient person, especially when I know what I want. There is a particular facet of my life about which I have always known, without a doubt, exactly what I want. I want kids, lots of them. In fact, Jesse and I joke that our goal is to rebuild a couple of dilapidated sports teams with our offspring. So, when things don't go as I hoped or planned and it seems that its taking so long to add to our family, I have to make myself stop and think. I look at pictures like the one above and remember just how blessed I am. Some of you may beg to differ but I truly believe that I am the mother of the most beautiful and amazing little boy.

I remind myself that I get to spend most of my days like in the picture below, swinging at the park, taking long walks, digging in the dirt and reading Dr. Seuss. That's when I realize, if for some off the wall reason, I were to never have another child, I would still be beyond blessed. I have an amazing miracle, a "gift from God" as he would say. I have something that no one else in the world has, I have Drew.
