I am the luckiest mommy in the world! I know I am a week late but I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings after my FIRST Mother's Day! Gavin, from the moment I held you in my arms for the first time, to the day we brought you home from the hospital, to everyday since I have experienced such joy and love as to bring me to tears. My heart swells to almost bursting when I look at you and when you smile that cheesy grin at me. I can literally feel my spirit jump for joy when I see that you are happy. I cry when you hurt. My heart stops when you fall. My heart soars with excitement and joy when you succeed at learning new things. YOU are my most treasured possession. After such darkness and rain, YOU are my SUNSHINE! Gavin, I am truly the luckiest mommy in the world to have you as my son. You have such a sweet spirit. You are so full of life, always moving, always exploring the big world around you. You radiate such joy and purity. Your happy countenance lifts everyone around you. People are drawn to you and can't help smiling! :) Over the past three weeks your loving nature has begun to shine through all that you do. You love to give your blanket and puppy hugs and loves every time you see them. I love it when you wrap your arms around my neck and hug me tightly. I love the way you rest your head on my shoulder for the slightest moment to show your contentment. When you play you crawl over to me every few minutes to rest your head in my lap for a second or give me a hug. These are my most treasured moments and memories! Your daddy and I pray EVERY NIGHT that we can be the best parents for you. We pray every night that you will continue to be the happy little boy you are now and grow healthy and strong. We thank Heavenly Father EVERY NIGHT for your birth mother Ariel and birth father David. They love you so much and want you to have everything life has to offer, but especially to have the gospel and the blessings of the temple in your life. I know without a doubt, almost more than I have ever known anything in my life, that you are my son and that you belong in our family. My greatest joy and calling in this life is to be YOUR MOMMY!
