mommy cries sometimes too

daddy has been researching cars for awhile and we got to look at one tonight. she was a beauty too! a 1995 bmw...and my mommy fell in love. it was pretty dark when we saw her so daddy's gonna go back again to check her out in the daylight. from what i saw, i'd love to take a ride in that car. hmm, i wonder what we could name her.


after the "car show", daddy and i went inside our cozy house for some dinner and mommy took the envoy to meet her friends at a starbucks a little ways from our house. it takes a lot to get mommy out. i'll vouch for that. she likes to take me places, but she's pretty much a homebody-family-mommy-who-doesn't-like-to-leave-me-for-fear-she'll-miss-something. but this was a special reason to leave. it was her first "girls night out" with her friends she met at church. they're her small group friends and they are so wonderful to my mommy.


gosh, they sat at that starbucks for nearly 2 1/2 hours just talking about how they met their husbands, shared advice about their kids, told funny stories, laughed, and just 'were'. they just 'were'. and mommy loved just 'being'. she had such a great time sitting there with them that when she got in the car and called daddy, she cried a little bit. it's a good thing when friends cause happy tears. i hope i cause happy tears. (yep, pretty sure i do) tonight's conversations made her think about me and the day i was born. and how little i was then compared to now. and how she had no idea how much i would fill her up and change her life.


just shows how much things can change...and how fast. it wasn't that long ago that mommy's idea of fun was much different. but geez, in just a few short years, so many changes have taken place. so many good, good changes (me) have taken place. and mommy loves where she's at in life right now. a place where she goes to sleep at night next to the most wonderful man in the world...a place where i sleep soundly in my crib just down the hall. that's my mommy's life now. thank you God, she says. she knows she's blessed.


oh, and p.s. the fog was so dense on her drive home that she was hunched over the steering wheel like an old woman the whole way home. typical. : )


g'nite world! love, biggles
