At times, I get irritated because Shane will leave a mess on the kitchen counter that I just cleaned or track mud into the house, Hayden will pull all his toys out that I just put away or try to kick at me when I change his diaper and Elliot will cry uncontrollably or wake up from his sleep 3 minutes after I put him down; but, I would not trade my life for anyone elses. I have the best husband...Shane continues to think about his family above his own needs and still loves me 12 years after we first met. He is an outstanding father and a devoted husband. He is just as sexy to me as he was on the first day I met him and he continues to patiently listen to me as I vent my frequent frustrations. He is my best friend and I love him. Shane, thank you for putting up with my obsessions, neuroses, temper and impatience.
Hayden continues to be a smart, quick learning, sweet boy. He puts up with my frequent need to kiss on and hug him. He tells me he loves me using his sign language and loves to sit and read stories. He is by far the best thing that happened to me. He has taught me the true joy of putting someone else's needs first and the absolute delight in nurturing another. I have become a better, more patient and happier person since he entered my life.
Elliot has completed our family. He is the one that has reserected my faith in myself, he is my cuddle bunny, my warmth and my smile. Although not planned, Elliot has fulfilled my family and I am joyous that he is mine.
My family is everything to me. I am no longer the materialistic person I once was...a cuddle is worth more than all the CDs, DVDs and books I once thought so important; a kiss and a glance from any of my boys is more powerful than anything I can think of. So, on this Mother's Day I just want to tell all my boys "I love you" and thank them for making me a wife and mother.

Oh Marisa, your going to make me cry. I am very happy to see the family picture - Ive been wanting one for a long time - Thank You!
Shirley, everyday I said I wanted a photo of the four of them and this was taken as we were about to leave them to come home, they never like to hurry do they about anything.????
Aww, that made me so teary. Family is everything and I am learning it more every day. A happy late mothers day to you :). I am glad to see Elliot is doing better. I know the frustrations of bottles, we went through about 10-15 different kinds, from "realistic" fat rubbery ones to glass ones but she finally settled on the playtex ventair *phew*. Our kitchen was like a plastic graveyard for a while! No worries :), it will work out eventually, he is a baby that know's what he likes lol.
