Happy Birthday to Him.

Today is my husband's birthday. Today, like every day, he is the same loving husband. Waking up early to work hard and show us all the love he can. Putting his absolute best effort into every single day. Today, I am so grateful he was born. I am grateful to his parents and to God, for giving the world his smiling face. I am grateful that our paths crossed, that we met, married and started our family. To share this day with him, and celebrate his precious life, means everything to me.

Little hands.

My son's hands are precious. He is completely agile with his little hands, as he masters picking up small objects or big ones. Touching my hair or face. He has what I call a "muffin top" around his wrists that falls slightly over his hands. I know that one day, he will have big, strong hands that will work hard, greet people and caress his loved ones. But today, I am grateful for his perfect little chubby hands.
