Timothy

Timothy's Mom, Lena just posted this pic on Facebook. He is 6'1" and 185 pounds. He is huge!!!

I Know He Isn't Mine...

I know he isn't mine, but I felt his little feet kick my ribs for weeks on end.
I know he isn't mine, but I rejoice in his accomplishments and mourn for his losses.
I know he isn't mine, but his eyes and ears and feet are.
I know he isn't mine, but I can't imagine my life if he had never entered it.
I know he isn't mine, but I will always be his.
I am not his mom, I cannot take credit for his deeds.
But I am his birth mother, and I am responsible for his life.

Fourteen years ago today I gave birth to a beautiful 7 pound 1 ounce baby boy. He has grown into such a smart, handsome young man. I was never meant to be his mom. But I can't help but love him just as much as if I were.
I love you and happy birthday, Timothy!

Sick Little Boy

Beckett has had a cold for the past few days and a bit of a croupy cough. Nothing too concerning overall, but when he started to have a discharge from his eyes I decided to take him to the doc.

Turns out he has pink eye in both eyes and an ear infection. Poor kid. Honestly, an ear infection didn't even cross my mind because he has been just as happy as normal. He now has antibiotics and eye drops so he should be better in no time. I'm just glad he is a happy little boy. But if you want to send over treats for his mom I'm not going to say no. :)

Good Things Utah!

For those of you who don't subscribe to Mamas on a Dime (shame on you!) I will be on Good Things Utah again this coming Thursday!

This will be my fifth time on the show (squee!) and I'm nervous and excited all over again. I have no desire to ever be famous in any way, shape, or form, but I do love the publicity this gets our blog.

So make sure to tune in. Or even better, come be in the audience! I love seeing a friendly face or two sitting on the super uncomfortable bleachers while I prepare for the show. :)

Easter Bunny!

I took the boys to see the Easter Bunny today. As you can tell from the picture above it was a roaring success!
Although this picture looks eerily similar to one we had taken around Christmas with a certain jolly old man.
I'm sure one day Beckett will appreciate strange characters dressed up in some odd outfit, but until that day comes we get hilarious pictures like this.
