Raising Aubrey

6/23/2013
After church today we went up to visit Travis and Amy.  What fun it has been having them live close by.  Amy is always so sweet and I have never heard her utter a bad thing about another.  She is a wonderful role model. They also have raised such great kids that I have come to adore and love being around. Travis gave the boys a golf bag they'd found at a garage sale the day before.  After visiting for a bit we went to a nearby park where the kids could try them out.  I spread out a blanket for Aubrey and I and we watched. She looked so adorable sitting up on her own. She tips every once in a while so I still need to stay close by.  She tumbled over at one point and I just laid down beside her.  She is such a sweet girl, she adores her mama and I love seeing the love in her sweet little eyes.  It is so fun having a little girl. I hope she and I will be close friends the way I was with my mom growing up.  I hope I will share in her joys and sorrows and that I will be able to talk to her about all that she will experience in her life.  I hope that I will be the type of mother that can listen and be able to console and guide in a loving manner.  I hope that we can talk and laugh together.  I hope she always knows how beautiful she is, and how proud I am to be her mom.
