I'm sure every mother can relate to all the feelings of seeing your children grow up. Although we celebrate each milestone, there's a bit of sadness that seems to go along with it. I know it's cliche, but I'm just positive it was yesterday that I held Cale in my arms for the first time. However, I look at the calendar and somehow 5/31/07 became 5/31/08. With the chaos of having two boys, I have spent much of this past year hoping for a little more self-sufficiency from this little guy. Now that he's achieved so much, a part of me wishes to go back.
So here I am reminiscing the joy that Cale has brought to our lives and feeling my eyes well up a little. In so many ways, I'm just starting to get to know him. Every day, more and more of his personality is revealed. While the days of cradling my precious second son are gone, I have so many richer, deeper days ahead. Happy Birthday, my sweet Cale!
Oh, and for those of you who are interested, you can go here to see him devour his birthday cake. It's pretty cute but if you close your eyes and just listen, you might think you're watching WWF for babies. Kinda wierd, right?

This is a blog for all those "wives" out there who feel pressured to be someone they're not--perhaps because their spouse happens to be a pastor. Maybe this can just be a place where we can find someone who understands what we're going through. So let me know what you're thinking! I need it too!
