Four years ago...

I used to be Tracy. I was a wife, daughter, sister, friend, cousin, etc.. But four years and four months ago on January 7, 2004 my sweet Jada was born, and I received a new name. Mommy.

It's all I ever wanted to be. I never had big career aspirations. I went to college because it was expected, but all I really wanted to be was a stay-at-home mom. Now here I am. Living my dream.

Dear Jada,
I am so glad that God chose me to be your momma. I love you more than words could ever express...you are my special gift from Heaven. Thank you for the joy you bring me each and every day. I love you sweet girl!
Momma

To all the mom's who are reading this...Happy Mother's Day!!

Here are a few Mother's Day photos...

Family photos

I recently put together this slide show of some of my favorite photos from August 2007 until now. There will be many more photos to come!

Welcome to our family blog!

I finally decided to take the plunge and create a family blog! I hope it will be entertaining to read while keeping our family and friends updated on our lives. That, and it will keep me from clogging everyone's inbox with numerous pictures---how can you ever just pick a few?! Because I do not scrapbook (or even put my pictures in an album most of the time) I hope that this will serve as some sort of photo journal to capture the moments that seem to be flying by. Thanks for visiting, and please know that I am new to this so it may take lots of tweaking to get it just right. Enjoy!!
