Mothers Day:1st and 2nd

Sorry about the late post!

Last year I was able to have my first Mother's Day! I never thought that I would have someone so beautiful in my life. He was a surprise baby and what a surprise he is still. He has taught me to be patient and to live life in the moment.

My second Mother's Day was even better. Potato has become such a character and has such a great spirit. DH and I feed off of his energy and really wish that we had a quarter of it sometimes. I was so excited this year to be able spend the morning with my sister-n-law and then head to Posados for lunch with my mother. Although we are completely different people now we are growing closer. I am not sure if our relationship will ever be the same again, but we can develop a new one. After lunch I headed to the pool with my favorite Sammy. That night we went and checked out my parents new patio and helped them unload their new patio furniture. I really can't wait until they get a play set for the boys. Soon!

My DH surprised me at the end of the night though. He took me to Best Buy and I was able to get an item off of my WISHLIST! I got my web cam and I actually got to use it tonight to talk with Dr Shipley! I love her and she got so many virtual kisses from the Potato. We are hoping to get to see Parrain soon. Here's proof that I got my new toy!

Way-Back Wednesday!

The Randolph boys have been sick for over a month now and I am about to lose my ever lovin mind! DH will be going back to the doctor tomorrow for the third time. They have no clue what's wrong with him and have tried the strongest medicines.

Potato just got over his 4 infection in the past two months but last night ran a fever of 101 and this morning of 100. I took him to the doctor yesterday morning and they said that his ears look great and "Yep he has a cold!" OMG! I must have a kickass metabolism because I have yet to catch what they have. On the other hand my metabolism is making my Psoriasis kick into high gear. I am stressed all the time and practically in tears every night. I feel like throwing my hands up in the air because I can't fix my boys!

I feel like a horrible wife and mother although I disinfect the house twice a day and pump so many vitamins into each of their systems with no sign of the bug clearing. I feel lost, discouraged, angry and depressed.

While I am away from my boys I feel hopeless. DH is my backbone and Potato is my happiness. What do you do without those two things?! I have a ton of pictures in my office and when I feel low I look at them. I have some of when Mr and I first started our journey together. His smile warms my core as do his big bear hugs. I love the fact that I can curl up in his arms and look like a little girl. Safe, secure, and loved. I love how when I look at them I can see how far we have come and how much we have accomplished together. I am on an incredible life journey and the only place I want him to be is right beside me.

Then how could you not adore a face like this one! The picture below was from May 2009.

I hope you enjoyed looking back with me.

My Potato is 17 months old!

One year ago my Potato looked like this:

Today my Potato is so much bigger!

Where DOES the time go? Why do our babies grow so fast? I know that it must happened but I DO NOT like it at all!
