Theo's Baby Blessing

A parent's love is whole no matter how many times divided.

Theo - Blessing Day

If you would have told me 20 years ago that I'd be a mother to 6 children, I would have thought you were really crazy. I mean,  who has 6 children anymore. Not very many. And who wants 6 children? even fewer.  And I have come to realize that it is only others (ie walmart checkers etc) that think I am crazy because the only kind of "crazy" I feel is, crazy in love.  Pure RAPTURE.  Sure some days are crazy and I might think for a split moment that I could be loosing it, then I lay in bed at night.. soaking it all in. When all are asleep, I crawl my fatigued body into  bed, snuggled next to my precious forever husband, there I can quietly digest the prayerful ponderings of my heart. It is there that I am quickly able to pull focus again. Every night when I say my prayers, I find myself in a long ...probably redundant circle of thank you's. A whole bunch of thank you's for all the great and crazy things of life.  I realize all that I am trading to do this mom thing. You have to give up certain things at the stage I am in and deep down I am so grateful to be have this blessing of making that trade.

Mr. Mageo's baby blessing was the weekend after I broke my arm (Labor Day weekend). My surgery was Friday of his blessing weekend. Awesome timing huh? It was a really great weekend. We had 12 house quests and it was nuts but was really great too. I naturally was a little lame (in the literal sense) because of my condition but in a way that is what will make that weekend memorable.We are so grateful for the family that came to celebrate, support and help us in that time of need. We love all of them.
