Not My Day

So today was not my day. It belonged to two of the loves of my life, Michael and Beckett. Today, Mike turned 29 and Beck turned 1 whole month. Mike spent the day as always with Mark in Washington. It seems that they have gotten into a tradition of taking turns traveling to spend their birthdays together. Mike said he was going to go there this year and to butter me up, since I have a new baby at home, said he wanted to take Caid. I looked at it as a trial and blessing all at the same time, Caid being away from me longer than ever before but alone time with Beck. I miss that I was not able to spend Mike's birthday with him but know that he shares it with Mark not me. They have spent their birthdays together since the day they were born.

Michael, I hope you had a wonderful birthday! I am so blessed to have you in my life and our sons are so lucky to have you in theirs. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for loving us! I love you and miss you!

Beckett, you have captured my heart and changed my life. You have made me so much of a better person. You are the best baby! You are so mellow, crying only when you want to eat. Which must be more often than I realize because you have grown so much in just a few weeks. You have filled out and lost hair. It is too funny! You are awesome in the car, almost always falling asleep. You love to be held and your daddy and I are always happy to oblige. You are so accepting of your brother and never protest when he wants to hold you, get in your face, or push you a little too hard in the swing. You are such a sweet baby! I can't believe you are already a month old. Slow down! You are such a joy and I want to enjoy every little second of you. I love you my sweet Baby Beckett!!!!
