Savor This Special Time

Hi Kim (& Jason),

Congratulation and best wishes to you and Jason! I'm sure it's hard to believe that your precious Jasmine will be with you both soon. Enjoy and savor every moment because it seems like the other day Steve and I were welcoming Amanda into the world and then two years later the addition of Steven.

Now, we are preparing to send Amanda (a.k.a. the Squeaker) off to college. We can't believe this time has come. How did this happen??!! We started to look back and reminisce…Steve's memories somehow differ from mine…He recalls many sleepless nights, I recall hearing him snore, because I’m wide awake breastfeeding this tiny little angel. He recalls changing many dirty and smelly diapers, I recall him trying to change a diaper, but his retching/gagging got the best of me; therefore, I completed the task. He recalls my first Mom’s Get Away, and how much work it was for him, I recall coming home to a daughter wearing a diaper; however, she had been out of them for months. The stories could go on and on…yet we both concur, the birth of our children has blessed us in every way.

Again, congratulations and best wishes to you both!!!

All our love,
Cousin Linda, Steve, Amanda & Steven
