Sunday at Church there was a Princess Tea Party that Anna and I attended. Anna of course dressed up as you can see, she was Sleeping Beauty. The entire purpose of the tea was to make sure our daughters know that they are a gift from God and for their royal guests to share with them how truely important they are to us. It was a fun 2 hours, when we arrived Anna was announced "Her Royal Highness Anna Rowell," We quickly made our way to the photo opportunity, then to the craft area. Sweets and Pretty Pink Punch were served. Anna felt very "happy" she was very touchy feely and I ate it up. She is our little princess and I thank God for her. I didn't think yesterday was that BIG of a DEAL for her, but something must have hit home, becasue this morning she was all about making everyone in the house breakfast. I am so proud of her.
Since Jude just turned three about a month and a half ago, I have realized I don't have a baby anylonger. This kinda makes me a little sad, the amount of time, care, and attention an infant requires is 10 times that of a toddler /school-ager. It makes me think about that special bond I have with my children and the times when they were infants. Even though Jude is "tall" for his age and very expresive I have found that the time of closeness / bonding with him still exist. And that is when he is getting ready for nap or bed, he still wants me to rock him. I love it! I love sitting in his room in the rocking chair rocking my little man to rest and relaxation. It is the one thing that I feel such closeness with him. God only knows how much longer he will have this, a part of me doesn't want him getting any bigger. But obviously I can't control that and I suppose my rocking Jude days will end sometime before he turns 17?

I don't know Amy, my boys still want their backs rubbed, their hands massaged, and their mommy still does that for them....so maybe you WILL be rocking him when he's 17!! Here's hoping that it will never change! Hope Anna is feeling better now. love, Terre
