God Bless the USA

"A Baby's smile is as loving as an Angel's touch."

September 11th. Today our family wore red, white, and blue to show that we will never forget. I still remember getting our oldest child, Brandon ready for Kindergarten, taking care of Ethan, and being pregnant with Noah when I turned the tv on. I saw the twin towers, the planes and yelled to Tom that there was something terrible happening. We sat in our family room not believing what we were seeing. We will always remember that day in 2001.
On a day that holds so much sadness, I do have one little bit of personal joy. My littlest boy gave me a gift. Jacob has given me small "smirks" here and there before, but tonight I lightly touched his cheek while nursing him and he gave me a beautiful smile.
