Mother and Son

"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone,

but still miraculously my own.

Never forget for a single minute,

you didn't grow under my heart--but in it."

I love you, Sweet Noah.

I love, love, love these pictures! The one with him peeking open one eye is hilarious - you can tell he is thinking, "What exactly is going on here? Why am I naked and being moved into a million different places?" CUTIE!!!
