Little Wonders

I have yet to completely grasp the fact that I am a mother. -- I am a mother, I am a mother -- I repeat to myself thinking maybe I will start understanding it all. I think of my life before I had Dorrian, but it seems so cloudy. Having him embarked me with a new lifestyle and well frankly, a new everything. I think of my childhood, as a little girl. You know the little girl, that played with barbies, thinking hers were beauty pagent material and wanted to brag about it to all the other  little girls. I think about how my mind was wired back then, I never once thought 11 years later from that I would have my own baby. My real life pooping, crying and breathing baby. No, not the Amazing Ally doll that we all begged our parents to get us for Christmas. -- A real one. I love him. Oh boy, do I love him. I have never been able to say that word, love, with so much passion and confidence. Such a strong word when used in the proper manner. My son. Oh, I love those words.

Funny enough, a day before the "ice storm" hit us I was able to squeeze in a few pictures of us outside. It was almost 80 degrees outside. Oh, Texas, you and your strangely bipolar weather conditions.

His little smile behind the binkie that will soon go bye-bye. I love it. c:

24 hour later. Well, actually not even that. I woke up to the ice monster that took over almost all of the south borders of the U.S. I looked out my window amazingly to see this.

Here is it about 5 days later and it still looks like this. It has caused me to literally be stuck in the house for days now, but on the plus side I had fun with redneck sledding with my husband. Redneck sledding-sledding with a shovel and a rope. There you go, learned a new word. Try it, it's fun. Even though it was ice, not snow. Not even a little bit of it was snow, can you believe it? It was still fun. Finals week this week for my college, but I have been iced it and campus has been closed so no finals for me until Monday. Hooray! 

I will end this post with a toodles and a bow. Christmas is coming up! I am still in preparation for the holidays. Googling new treats to try for Christmas. Even though I hate baking, I am still willing to try! 

Stay warm!
