Six Years Ago Today! - MM Photography - Sugar Land Photographer

Six years ago today my life changed forever... in ways I kind of expected and in ways I never even knew existed. My first child was born. I waited until pretty late to get started on having children so my life was pretty organized and in control up until that point! It has not been either of those things since!

This little guy had a pretty rough birth and several months of seizures that turned out to be benign. But we didn't know that for several months so it was pretty scary. Because of that our lives changed in ways we had not planned on. I quit my "day job" at M.D. Anderson and became a stay at home mom. Isn't there a saying that goes if you want to amuse God tell him your plans? He definitely rewrote our plan for us and blessed us beyond our imaginings. I prayed that He would help us find a way to stay home with our baby for 6 months. God answered that prayer and just keeps on answering it... six years later! I have been amazed and a bit weepy all week as I've realized that God has made a way, often when there seemed to be no way, for me to stay home with my children for six whole years! What an amazing, amazing gift to have been given! I have loved being a mom and raising these kids. They are truly gifts from God.

Thomas is imaginitive, creative, hilariously funny (even his tired, old Star Wars knock, knock jokes are funny the way he tells them) and loving. This boy is wonderfully affectionate and considerate. He keeps us on our toes and has some renewable source of super energy that I envy on a daily basis! I knew when I had children that I would love them and they would hopefully love me. I knew there would be warm, happy feelings of pride and joy. What I didn't know until this little guy came into my life was that it would be a love and a joy and a peace to this magnitude. I didn't know it would be beyond words and description... and my simple imaginings. I thank God for the gift of this little boy and I thank all of you for your years of support, encouragement, fun and business! :)
