So Blessed

Yesterday was an amazing Mother's Day. Noah had a R-O-U-G-H night on Saturday, and although he was quite tired, he did well at Kids Connection {thanks again to Nana}. After an AWESOME message at church, Kc had planned a picnic lunch, but poor weather and a 3 1/2 hour nap by the little guy put the kibosh on that. No matter...my FANTASTIC husband picked up lunch for me and we had a lovely "picnic at home". We ended the day with a great dinner at my parent's house.

What more could a woman ask for on Mother's Day?!? Time spend with the ones you love, good food and laughter, and a TERRIFIC nap from her little man! Oh, yeah...a little bit of bling would be nice. Kc out did himself this year and got me a gorgeous mother's necklace with both Ryan's and Noah's names as well as their birthstones {tourmaline and garnet}. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!

I truly am blessed with a thoughtful husband and adorable son!

Love the necklace! Well done KC! I think of you and your little guys often. You know my husbands name is Ryan Valentine? It's actually Charles Ryan Valentine, but his dad and gpa are both Charles so he's just Ryan Valentine to me. I love it. Happy late Mothers Day!

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
