Happy 6th Birthday to Kobe!

6 years ago today we were blessed with the arrival of our first son Kobe. What an incredible day that was! There is nothing like your first born child. I remember everything so well. Numerous family members waiting at the hospital, Kip and my mom cheering me on. With the epidural in tow we were having a grand old time waiting for our much anticipated baby. He was overdue and we didn't know if he was a boy or a girl. It was so much fun! We cried, we smiled, and we adored...

I was immediately in love in a way I had never been before. I couldn't even have imagined a more perfect baby. I was forever this little boys mommy...

I find myself thinking of my mom a lot today. She loved Kobe... she spent so much time babysitting him and I know she held a special connection with him because of that. She was actually babysitting him while I worked on his 1st birthday and his 5th birthday. She would be so proud of him turning 6 and starting kindergarten this year. I wish she could be here to see who this little guy is turning out to be. She always told him that she loved him to the moon and back and just looking at the moon tonight I know she is smiling down on him today wishing him a happy birthday.

He makes me so proud...

Happy Birthday to my lovey...
