Sidneys 9th Birthday

Another year around the sun for my oldest baby. This is  always a time for me to reflect and remember all the good and the bad since she has come in to our lives. This year Sidney grew so much in all that she was learning, doing and experiencing.

As I opened my devotional this morning todays entry was about memories that we make and pass on to our children. How that fit right in for today. The memories that I have of how Sidney came in to our lives are both good and hard to think about.

As I was growing up I never had that motherly instinct. I was ok with my sisters but not as babies. Babies weren't my thing. I remember saying and feeling that I would never get married. I wanted to keep my family name going. God had other plans for me.

We are a family
Here were are today with a smart, humors, joyful young lady. Striving to learn, explore and become who God wants her to be. I am so very blessed to be Sidney's mother. I well LOVE YOU FOREVER my first born. xoxoxo
