Daddy & Leighton

I took this picture a couple of months ago when Leighton and Mikey were playing on the floor.  Shortly after I took the picture, I found this frame when we went to Christmas Village in Nashville.  As soon as I read it, I KNEW I had to buy, I didn't even care if it cost $50.00 I would have bought it, plus I had the perfect picture for it.  Everything about it is true.  He was her first kiss, first love and first friend.  Mike can get this girl to light up as soon as she hears his voice, he makes her laugh ALL the time.  FYI: She wants her mommy when she is upset, tired, hungry, etc.  AND she actually says "mama".  It is pretty cute.  But these two people are the loves of my life and I can't imgaine life without them.

I love you this much!!

Leighton goes to a "home" daycare.  We are sooo blessed to have a wonderful family that keeps Leighton.  Mrs. RoseAnne is amazing and loves my baby as much as we do.  Could not have asked for a better situation (especially with all my crazy anxiety issues)!! This week they worked on cards for the parents, its my first artwork from my baby (did I tear up?  yes)  I wanted to share it with everyone!  I will keep this forever.  The little "spider" is her hand prints and the "ghost" is her foot.  TOO TOO CUTE!! On Monday I am going Trick or Treating with them, can't wait to take pictures of her in the costume!!

Me

There is one song I heard back in 2007 and it broght me to tears then.  To sum it up it says everything as to why I wanted to be a mother one day.  Now that I am a mommy to the most AMAZING daughter EVER this song has so much meaning.  I play this song all the time for Leighton and cry pretty much every time.  Plumb is the artist, CD is "Blink".  She is a Christian artist and wrote all the songs while she was pregnant.  There is actually several songs on this cd that are great, but here is the one that I love:

"Me"

I haven't had

A chance to sleep

And when I wake

I wake with your dreams

I guess my pillow

Holds some kind of key

to your peace

Your peace

Me

I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy

In this great big world

Me

I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky

To be the place you go

When you need to feel safe

When you need a kiss

It's me

I haven't showered

And I tried to eat

But all your tears

Oh they needed me

I need some time, some time to think

But then I hear you

And you what you need is...

Me

I wash your face

To make room for

All the kisses

Of tomorrow

And every day

That I get to

Be here with you

Is sweet
