I just had to smile today....

MomToJade&Jordan wrote: Jade and I went out to lunch with my friend Tonya and her son today. There is this little town along the North Shore of Oahu that is called Haliewa. It's probably what you would expect a town would look like when you come to Hawaii. It has your surf shops and such. It's one of those places you have to go to when you come here. Well there this Mexican resturant up there. It's called Cholo's and it is pretty awsome. I got to sit in the sun while we were waiting for our table and just enjoy it. Jade was with Tonya having a ball and just smiling away. She was wearing that little sun dress she's wearing in the picture of the week and she looked so sweet. I just had to smile. It was just one of those moments that you wait to be a parent for. When we finally got to eat our lunch she sat in her highchair and ate her taco like a good girl. It was a great day. How about everyone else? Can you think about one of those moments that just makes you smile?

Okay, where is the picture of the week? I'm looking all over the homepage.

Edited: never mind---I found it! I had the forum page bookmarked, not the homepage.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Awww! That is so sweet of you to take the time to watch and enjoy Jade. You are such a good mommy. I have had so many of these moments watching Maddie grow and discover life. Each day is so special and I can't wait to see her with her baby brother. It brings so much love to my heart just thinking of the two of them together.

It's not too far away. I hopw it starts to get warmer there for you soon.

MommyToAshley replied: Awweee! I know that feeling you are describing.... some of the best moments come from watching Ashley when she doesn't know I am watching.

Jade is absolutely beautiful. And, I love her smile. I am sure she brightened everyone's day.

jen replied: That sounds like the definition of Bliss! I can't wait to be a Mommy!

Maddie&EthansMom replied:

You are soon to find out just how wonderful it is. It is beyond description. I never knew I could love someone sooooo darn much and then I thought it would be harder to love another and here I am with so much more love in my heart to give. It is truly amazing.

MomToJade&Jordan replied:
Yes it really is. Becoming a Mom is one of the best things I have ever done. It has made me a better person. I am so excited for you.
