And This Is My Joy....
I just love this little guy to pieces! He is such a fun baby and he has so much love in his eyes! Dawson absolutely adores being outside and playing in the mountains just like his father. This summer has been so exciting, but very difficult because he can't seem to get over the ear infections. Dawsey finally had his appointment today with the Ear, Nose, & Throat specialist and they want to get him into surgery first thing in the morning, which gives me mixed emotions. I totally believe in the accuracy in tubes due to my other two children needing them before the age of one, and they both were brand new babies after the surgery. Yet, I still have an unbelievably hard time letting my babies go under. I know the risk of something happening is very slim and still I can't help but worry. Jade always keeps his attitude extremely positive for me and never thinks of the worst. I'm trying to do the same- but I have so many stories lying in the back of my mind of those precious little children that mothers have lost lately. I have made a point to completely engulf myself with my children and every moment I have with them. Knowing that you can't predict the future and I have to do my best today and right now with them. Sorry this is a little depressing for a post. That is what I love about blogging though- you can just let it all out if you need to and it really does make a difference. Also, it always makes me feel better hearing from all of you! Thanks for listening to my ramblings and sharing your experiences. I'll let you know how he does! You'd think I'd be a pro by now but I really feel like a rookie!!!

He is so lucky to have a mom like you to fuss over him & worry about him. I'd be the same way the day before my baby had to have surgery, so you are just fine! We love you!!!!!!!!

What's in a Name!

What Natalie Means
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
