Sincerely Fro Me To You ~ Swim lessons

I am sharing a photo of Luke and I at one of his first swim lessons.  I can honestly say this was one of the happiest times of my life.

I will never forget signing Luke up for those lessons he was about 9 months old.  We had gotten through our first winter, stayed home a whole lot and I was starting to become really lonely.  I had worked until I was 11 months pregnant and with HD traveling 5 days a week with his job, until Spring of that year I had been in baby bliss.  But then it started warming up and I had to do something with this now crawling bundle of chub.

I remember calling one of my best friends to see what she was doing, she to was a stay home mom, but she was to busy to talk, am seemed irritated with the phone call,  I remember feeling so alone yet God had given me my hearts desire, a health baby boy, who yet could speak my language.

I decided right then and there, this little guy and I are gonna have fun, we have each other and God planed it that way.  I remember praying for God to fill the void of my husband traveling to take away the loneliness and show me how to have fun and enjoy my growing baby.  

I went to the Y and we signed up for lessons.  Luke loved the water!  He was such a happy baby, he changed my life so much, I always wanted to be a mommy, even as a child.  I learned that summer who I was, who I wanted to be, and who I was created to be.  I learned to talk to my son when I was lonely, we started letting him hear his Daddy's voice on the phone which made the time away from each other even more bearable.

I am so thankful now looking back on the precious time I had with him alone, now the oldest of 3 he and I rarely ever get to  be alone.

For a longer walk down memory lane go over to We Are That Family and check out the fun.
