today was a great day. today at summer school, one of my co-workers came to school to show off pictures or her new adopted baby boy. his name is matthew. she was beaming. she had such a wonderful glow about her. she has decided to stay home next year, and we are so excited for her. she was so happy she was bouncing when she walked. i pray that motherhood is everything she dreams it would be and more. i wish her and her family all of God's richest blessing.
i think one of the best things about being a mother is being with your child when they experiencing something for the first time. like this weekend at six flags, or the first time hannah played softball and the first time she hit the ball to third base. the first time rebekah hit the ball without using a tee. watching your child learn to read, whether it comes easily or if it is difficult and they really have to work hard. there are so many wonderful things about being a parent.
today after i got home from school, we went to the mall to return some curtains i had ordered over the internet. (i painted my formal living and dining room sage. so i finally threw away the old curtains.) while we were walking around the mall, bekah started talking about getting her ears pierced. we had told her previously that she could get them pierced when hannah got her's pierced. she said she wanted to get them done today. i told her that was fine. she asked if she could sit in my lap while it was taking place, of course i said yes. she was squeezing my hand so hard. claire's did a great job in having two ladies pierce both ears at the same time.
i remember when i got my ears pierced it was such a big deal. i was in later elementary school. i went to a dr.'s office to get them done. it may seem silly but, what a milestone, in becoming a young lady. my how my children are growing up. it was very special to me to share this occasion with her. david was with us, i looked at him and told him this was a big day for her. through no fault of his own, i don't think he understood.
i am thankful that i get to share all of these special moments with my daughters. how fun.
i look forward to many, many more.

I remember getting my ears pierced, too...and, yes, it was a big deal. If my dad had his way, we probably would never get them done. But mom made him compromise (isn't it great how moms do that?) so when we turned 12 we were allowed to get our ears pierced. Second piercings were out of the question...
me too....what is up with waiting until you're 12. that was the magic year for me too. if only i had stopped at one. my mom quit looking when i hit number four. which was rather racy for the 80's nowadays its nothing...you got to have everything pierced to be considered wild. tell Bekeh Boo congratulations on becoming a young lady w/earrings.
6, 12, whatever, I was 18! yes 18! my mom said "if God wanted you to have holes in your ears..." So when I turned 18 my best friend took me to the mall. that's all I have cause it would be a little embarrassing to have those 2 ladies do both my ears at the same time! Kylah was 3...what does that say about my courage.
