Our Time

My favorite time...our time at night - just Kaz and I. The simple time...when I rock him and sing his three night time songs. But, the best part are the kisses! I am smothered in open mouth kisses from my little man from the time I start singing until right before I lay him down:) That is our time...just him and I...and nothing else matters. Tonight when we said our prayers before I turned out his light we added in a special praise to God for his protection, healing, and most of all, peace.

I really do love this little boy with all of my heart. Sometimes I am reminded of my sweet little baby when looking at him, however amazed at how quickly he growing up into a little boy. I'm sure I am partial, I mean I am his mommy;) but he does have such a kind heart, the best smile, and already makes friends with everyone around him. I am so honored that God chose me to be his mother and each day when I wake up to his sweet sing song voice and every night when I lay him down and get a great big smile, I am instantly reminded what a gift he is...

Mr. Kaz is on the move!

Each day that passes our little guy is getting a bit stronger. He has now mastered the "army crawl" and we couldn't be happier!

I know before long we are going to have a little toddler that's into anything and everything. Most parents dread the thought, but to be honest, I'm looking forward to him finding independence and simply having the ability to get around on his own:)

His vocabulary is also growing at a rapid pace. His responses seem to be right on cue and at times I find myself asking...."did he really just say that?". Sometimes it sounds like he is stringing a whole sentence together?? I'm sure it is just a coincidence, but it's quite entertaining to play along with his perfectly timed response.

My favorite time of the year is upon us and I'm so excited for fall, winter, and all the festive holidays to come! I'm looking forward to celebrating and truly being thankful for all the blessings our family has received when reflecting on this past year alone. 

Graduation - It's a Celebration!

Another chapter has come to a close! I graduated today:) with my Masters in Special Education. What a great feeling it was to have the hard work from the last two years of juggling a job, family, and school pay off with a teaching certificate as the end result.

Some friends and family joined together to help celebrate before the big day. We had a little Mexican Fiesta (basically because it happens to be my favorite food;).

I was blessed to be surrounded by the support of all of my family on this beautiful August day.

I can't imagine what all is in store for my career in the future...but I know there are big things ahead:) I can only hope to make a positive and lasting impact on my students along the way.
