Gavin is fascinated with motorcycles, lawnmowers and helicopters right now - maybe it's the noise, I am not sure! He still gets a little confused on what noise goes with what though and it's pretty funny what he comes up with!
Gavin had just woke up and came running into our room so I picked him up and put him in bed with us, Mike was still asleep and Gavin was not completely awake yet either and we were just laying there. Mike rolled over and started snoring and Gavin looked at me and said, "Motorcycle?" It was so sweet, I told him that it was just his daddy and that answer seemed to satisfy him so he rolled over, patted Mike and went right off to sleep!
He is too funny!

Storms
I am so tired of the storms! I am ready for some sunshine!
When the storm hit last Friday I was at work and my parents were at our house with Gavin, he did great though - my mom said he was a little anxious but who wouldn't be with 80+ mph wind rocking your house! We had some minor damage, thankfully we have insurance so we will be fine. My heart does go out to some of our neighbors who did have some significant damage, so scary to think that could have been us - God is gracious!
Last night we had to go to the basement again.....at 11:30 or so - needless to say Gavin and mommy were not very happy! As we were cuddling on the couch downstairs I was trying to convince Gavin that he was safe and everything was ok and he kept saying "Thunder, downstairs, sirens," over and over again - poor guy, he did calm down when Daddy got the tv to work and then the lights went out and we had to light some candles - which was completely fascinating to Gavin so all was ok! Eventually he looked up at me and said, "Momma-I wanna go to bed!" Me too, baby, me too!
We did get to go back upstairs and after a little convincing that it was not morning and that he needed to go back to sleep it was a good night! When he woke up this morning he said, "Momma!" I went in to get him and he said, "Snack - I wanna cheetos!" I guess getting up in the middle of the night made him hungry!
He is such a funny kid and I love him so much!

Mother's Day
I don't know how to put into words how I feel about being Gavin's mommy - amazing doesn't even begin to touch it! For so long I wondered if I would ever get to celebrate this day as a mommy and now I do and I love it! I often feel so inadequate about being a mommy (I am finding that is normal with moms though) and I wonder if God really knew what He was doing when He brought Gavin into our lives because he is such an intelligent and quick little boy and I am just not sure I know how to parent him and then I am reminded of the verse in Jeremiah that says that God has a definite plan for our life and He knows exactly what that plan is and it is a plan to prosper us - so comforting! I didn't know that I could love someone like I love Gavin but it is truly a blessing to be a part of his life and I am so grateful to everyone that was involved in making him a part of our lives! I really want to post Gavin's story and how everything came to be - it is just such an awesome story and I want to give it the time that it deserves. I promise that I will do it - soon!
We were having lunch on Saturday and Gavin was being a little difficult and while I was trying to get him to eat he grabbed my arm and looked at me and said, "Momma, can I be your baby?" How precious is that? Of course I said, "Yes, you can always be my baby!" He could have asked me for anything in that moment and it would have been his!
I love being a momma and I pray that God equips me to be the best momma that I can be to Gavin and any other babies that He has planned for us!
