So you know what?  For whatever reason, I have become a sentimental sap lately!  Seriously.  I have pretty much taken the month of July to devote to my family, as my hubby scheduled his vacations this month (and so I did not schedule much at all) and I was determined to take a step back, evaluate my business, take in my summer and spend time with my children.  And that I’ve done.  But I must tell you about this little man…(disclaimer: I took this yesterday, but he has since had a haircut.  )

He is my heart….one thousand and one times over.  I am so smitten with this little person that it’s actually hard for me to even write about it because there are no words to describe the way I feel.  Jack.  He is sugar on a lemony-kind-of-day.  He is my smile on a chaotic morning and my blessing on a day where life just doesn’t feel quite right.  This child is pure bliss.  He’s funny (have I mentioned he’s funny?!?), he’s kind, he’s brilliant, he’s precious in every way, and best of all, he’s MINE.  =)

I often think of him as an old man in a tiny body – the kind of little one who wants to take care of me, love on me, consider me, truly….I think the kid is in love with me.  And guess what?  I’m perfectly fine with that.  I adore it.

I went to pull him out of his car seat at Kmart tonight, and he randomly said, “Mama, I LOVE you.  And I love your beautiful eyes.”  I’m not kidding.  He’s two.  And these are the kind of loves I receive all day every day.

Could I get any luckier?!?    I think not.

Don’t worry, if you’ve read this far, you receive an award.    I’m all done.  And now I will go tuck him into bed.  =)

More up soon from the amazing retreat I just attended – lots of fun posts coming your way!
