FFF - Mommy!

I remember holding Claire on my lap when she was just a few months old, taking her lips, moving them up and down like a little bird, and saying "Ma-ma...Ma-ma". I wanted so badly to hear her say it! I wanted it to be her first word. (It wasn't - I think her first word was, "More" in reference to FOOD!) Now I hear the word "Mom" so many times a day that I sometimes think I'm going to go crazy - but in spite of all of the tough times, I do enjoy being Mommy to my girls, and would so much rather be their mom than not a mom.

Since I posted a picture of Mia and me a couple of weeks ago, I'll post a couple of my favorites with Claire this week.

This one was taken in October of 2005...


...and I'm not sure when this one was - maybe '04 - taken with the camera on my computer.



Here's a little video clip from the first day we met Mia in Guatemala - Thanksgiving Day 2007 - the first time she called me Mommy.





Hope you have a great Mothers Day weekend! For more FFF posts, see Sarah's blog.
