I am an Air Force wife and mother of three precious gifts from God. I enjoy learning at home with my children, and the many adventures this life sends our way. So stop by often to visit, and check out what the Five Nomads are up to.
This week is Bubby's 5th Birthday, so I'm a bit nostalgic. Here I am a few weeks before he was born. Can we say ENORMOUS? Wow. I hurt just looking at that picture. No wonder my belly doesn't look like it did back in the early 90's.
The lovely letters come to you in honor of my friend Lorri. Remember, I'm playing The Alphabet Photography game over at Mac & Cheese Chronicles.
What is perfect is God's design for having children. I'm awed at the process. Such little miracles that we have running around our homes. I know they make me crazy sometimes, but I'm trying to be more thankful--less make them perfect.
Oh. My. Word. I wish I had seen this picture 5 months ago, I wouldn't have been so complain-y with my 6 pound bundle of joy baking inside. Happy Birthday to Bubby!
To protect my children, I have chosen pseudonyms for my blog.
The General, my oldest commanded his own army back in DC. He is a take charge kind of boy, so it fits.
Princess was the first word out of my husband's mouth when he first laid eyes on our beautiful little girl.
Bubby was ginormous when he was born, and oh was he a fatso! At first I wasn't sure his name fit him, so I called him Tubby Bubby.
The General
The first one to call me mommy. He is a take charge kind of guy. He heads up his own army of neighborhood boys.
Princess
Her beautiful spirit has taught me to be much softer and more gentle in my mothering.
Bubby
The icing on our cake!
Attitude
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. . .a church. . .a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. . .we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. . .I am convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. . .we are in charge of our Attitudes." Charles Swindoll
You look perfect!

ReplyDeleteMr. Nomad calls it, "Impressive. My wife is impressive when she is pregnant."
ReplyDeleteYep, all 10 lbs. 9 oz. of that sweet Bubby Boy!
You looked great! I was huge like that with Nick who was almost 9 lbs. Not so much with 6 lb Desi. It's nice to see pics like this, thanks!
