Last night we plugged in the video camera to the TV and actually watched some of the hours of home movies we have of the kids. Jon rewound the tape back to my pregnancy and Ethan's birth. To see my energetic, curious boy so small, quiet and helpless brought tears to my eyes. That chubby, dark-haired, little baby is all grown up. Hard to believe he'll be off to school in the fall.
At the end of our movie preview, Ethan hugged me and said, "Thanks for having me, Mama." All I could think was, "Thanks for being born." It is truly amazing how much better and crazier life is with kids. I wouldn't rewind our lives, even if I could.

How sweet is that, that Ethan said thanks for having me? It doesn't get much better than that!
