Happy Birthday and Happy 1st Communion M

M's name means Daughter of wise leader and poetic
D's name means Belonging to God and gift of God.

When I was pregnant with M, we did not find out the gender until she was born. I had always known what her name would be. I never researched or got into the meaning of her name. With 8th birthday and 1st Communion being the same day (tomorrow), I decided to search and see. I truly believe she is the daughter of a wise leader. Someone much wiser than her father and I. M is such a wise young girl and very poetic. She loves to write and express herself. She really love going to church and Sunday school and asks a lot of questions about God and her life. She definately has her own mind and way of doing things. Things that sometimes pushes me out of my comfort zone. Things that I would never do. That is just because I have always been shy and introvert. She is just the opposite. I love this girl with all of my being. She is my world. She amazes me everyday with her intellect and abilities. I cannot believe that tomorrow I will be the mother of an 8 year old. We had 1st Communion practice and pictures last night. She is so absolutely beautiful in her dress, veil, crown, jewelry. I think I took 50 pictures just last night. When our busy weekend is done, I will load my pictures and share a couple. I am certainly rambling this morning. M is gone to school. R took D to the sitters. I am supposed to be cleaning and getting ready for our big day tomorrow. After 4:30 mass we will have about 50 people at our house for dinner. Lots and lots to do. I have to pick up birthday treats at noon to deliver to school, pick her up at 3 when school is out. I have to shop for all of the food, clean my house, prepare food, shop for something for myself to wear tomorrow. I am a little stressed. Ok, make that a lot stressed. However, I know that all of the plans are in the hands of a higher, wiser leader and I will just do his work and try to stay calm.

Happy birthday my big girl.....I love you very much. I am so proud to be your mom. You have changed my life in so many wonderful ways.
