Motherhood: My First Year

My amazing Mother's Day present, from a husband who somehow miraculously continues to out-do himself in the area of gift-giving. I am humbled and so very, very grateful for him, our precious daughter, and the Beautiful One who saw fit to make us a family.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I'm so happy for you in your first ache-free mother's day!!! You are one amazing mom and you have one of the cutest kids on the face of the earth! And such a neat and thoughtful hubby too! God bless you guys!

P.S. It was like watching someone give birth and look at their new baby to watch you with Eva for the first time! It was that amazing and precious!

The house is peaceful. Barney took his mom to go see StarTrack. Our own little gift finally droped off for a short nap. It's just me and my laptop and ....the box of tissues. I remember how rough mother's days had been in the past. I am so happy that I get to give God praise with you! I am so glad that we got to have our first mother's day together! ....I guess the short nap is over. Coming Tristian!

Oh. My. Gosh. That was AMAZING. No one could ever doubt the mothering ability of my sweet Vonda friend. Indeed, it DOES suit you well!

Love you so much, and so proud of you.

Oh my gosh Vonda, I just watched the video on the our family computer and it doesn't have sound. I am bawling my eyes out! I am going to go watch it on my laptop now. Maybe I should wait a bit until I get a hold of myself.
Ed you are amazing and what a beautiful gift!

Thanks for making all those moments happen so that I could edit them together.

As I did this, I felt a new wave of gratitude for Sarah Jane Holsteen, who shot most of the video in India.
