My how time flies

This has dual meaning. This week was spring break for Prattville High where I teach. I can't believe how quickly it flew by. I have loved being home with my little boy and am really dreading coming back to work on Monday. I have had so much fun. We stayed in our little routine which he loves. Mommy is really going to miss him on Monday when he goes back to daycare.




Also, this weekend marked the one year birthday of my friend Susannah's son Anderson. This was Elijah's first birthday party to be invited to. He had so much fun. His mommy even let him eat birthday cake (not too much icing though). I made the cakes for his birthday party, which I think turned out pretty good. What do you think.

A time of reflection

Easter has come and gone. It is a time of reflection on what our Lord and Savior has done for us and how often we fall short of deserving his love and saving grace. Also during this time period I have been reflecting on the last 11 months of my son's life. This was his first Easter. Look how cute he is.


Elijah was waiting for his breakfast at IHOP

My son brings so much joy to my life. It is so hard for me to think that his first birthday is in 3 weeks.










I love you Elijah. Happy Easter.

Attitude of Gratitude

As of late I have been aware of more and more babies and children who have died or are extremely ill. My heart is broken for those families and yet I rejoice. I rejoice at the fact that my son who had to stay 12 days in the NICU is happy and healthy. I rejoice everytime I look back and see how far he has come. I rejoice in the fact that in a short month my son whom I love with all of my heart will turn 1. I rejoice in every moment I have with that beautiful little boy. I love you so much Elijah Logan Harris.

The winds of change and Break through

Well, I know as you grow older things change. In my case it is my eyesight. I found out yesterday that my headaches are caused from my farsightedness. I went for an eye exam because my eye has been twitching. Come to find out, the twitch is from stress and fatique. Oh well, being a school teacher and mom I am not about to get rid of either very soon. I am went today to pick out my glasses. I got suckered. I went in to look at the $99.95 glasses and 2 for $99.99. Of course, they were UGLY. I am no fashionista but I do know those were not for me. I love my glasses. I am not one to normally go for red but what do you think.



I don't need them all the time only when I read and work at the computer. With Elijah, I made sure they could withstand constant grabbing from lttle hand.

On a different subject, my little one is NO longer toothless. We have on little tooth that just broke through the skin. I am ecstatic. He is 10 1/2 months and is just now getting a tooth. I am hoping more are on their way.

Prayer request: A co-worker of Susannah and myself lost her husband on Friday. Would you please pray that the Lord of all things bring peace and comfort to the Davis family. We love you Mrs. Davis. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
