Brayden,

Seven years ago today I woke up prepared to be a mommy for the second time.  I was still trying to comprehend how I could love another child as much as I loved your brother Caleb.  But as soon as I heard your cry and saw your sweet face I insistently understood how I could love all of my children with all of my being!  And as time passes I am amazed by how I love you more each day.

I am having a hard time grasping the fact that you are 7 today.  I truly can’t get over how fast time goes by.  It seems as if I was just swaddling you in my arms and rocking you asleep.  Now you are in the 1st grade and are excelling in school.  You love reading and math.  You have a quick temper but a kind heart!  You enjoy building with blocks, Lego’s, and Lincoln Logs.  You LoVe to color and be artistic.  Give you a video game and you are good to go for hours.  :o)  One of your new loves is money.  You are a smart saver and spender.  You told us the other day that when you grow up you want to be a Banker during the day and a Ghost hunter at night…lol!

Brayden, I can’t put into words how much I love you!  One day when you become a parent you may understand.  But until then ALWAYS know that I love you.  ALWAYS know that you can come to me for anything!  And most importantly, if I teach you nothing else, ALWAYS remember to put God first in your life.

I LOVE YOU my sweet Brayden!  I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!!!

LOVE,

MOMMA
