The most beautiful boy!

I know all I seem to be posting lately are pictures of Aslan... but I can't help it. He is precious and truth be told, I am beginning to get a little weepy about the coming months. The past two years of my life have been... indescribable. As a woman there are so many roles you play~wife, friend, home-manager, financial planner, daughter, house-keeper, grocery shopper, meal planner, nutritionist, confidant, servant, steward etc... But there has only been one that has come as natural as breathing, and that is motherhood. From the moment I laid my eyes on this child, I have been captivated by him. Every moment has been a joy and while I love watching him grow, every year that passes takes me farther and farther from those first days with him and closer and closer to... I'm getting a little carried away and I'm crying. He is only two :) or at least he will be on March 9th. I'm so excited about his little birthday but I also know that the time goes by so fast. So I can't help but get all sappy and cry and look at baby pictures and think of the first time I held him. Children are most certainly a blessing and for me, one of the most precious grace gifts from a wonderful God. 

These were taken by someone in our sunday school class. We went to our first sunday school fellowship today and had a great time. But sundays are hard on little ones and he missed his afternoon nap so he was a little grumpy. However, thankfully most people didn't seem to notice. These are great pictures. I could just eat him up!!! He is so cute I can't hardly stand it!



Look at these two~I love the way Clint is looking at him. Two peas in a pod.
