Today was one of THOSE days!

Thursday, July 9, 2009

The past few nights...I've been pulling some serious late nighters to get caught up on work.  When I say late, I mean 1am late with a 6 am wake up call!  And to top it off, I've had absolutely no coffee in my house.....OOOOOOUCH!

But...I pull those late nights so that I can be work free during the day to give my three babies ALL of me!  Today was one of THOSE days when I was given one of the most precious gifts a mother could ever ask for.  While I was playing hair styling with my girls....actually they were pretending to cut my hair (scary),  my sweet Cam walks in front of me...rubs my face and says with the sweetest voice..." I love you so much Mom!'  And that was all it took....I began to cry! THIS is what being a parent is all about...THIS is why I love my kids unconditionally during the good and the bad times, THIS is why I laugh when my girls are screaming at eachother and I have no escape...THIS is why I read them stories each night, why I kiss them a million times each day, why I tell them they make me the happiest mommy in the world....THIS is why nothing will ever compare to being a mommy.

Then when she saw me crying, she sweetly told me..."it's okay mommy.  I'm here, I'll take care of you."  Then she sat down, forced my head into her lap and began rubbing my face while singing 'You are my sunshine'....the song I sing to them when ever they'll listen.  

I ask...HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY!?!

My baby Cam.  In her favorite dress...actually she calls it her tutu.
Photoshoots with her is always a comedy hour.  She's one of those hams...funny thing...this IS her!  There is not hamming it up because the camera's out...this is HER!  This is why her teacher's need a good sense of humor because something hysterical is always flying out her mouth and her animated expressions.








AND she doesn't always come out and tell me when she's done...
she typically shows me anything but her face.  
Holiday UPDATES:

She is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love that first shot, absolutely love it. It's just so amazing that we get to have the kids we have, isn't it? I had no idea that the purpose of my life was to take care of mine the best I could, but now here I am and I can't imagine how silly and frivolous life before him seems now :)
