Do it anyway...

I love reading Mother Theresa's words. If you ever get the chance, read something she wrote...she led such an awesome sold out life and yet remained such a humble woman. Here is a poem she wrote...

DO IT ANYWAY
Mother Teresa


People are often unreasonable, illogical,
And self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you
Of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
False friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank;
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis
it is between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway.

The first of many....

...we hope!

Sweet and delicious - the taste of summer...

My Little Man...

So it's been three years has it? Surely not! Well the calendar tells me so, so I must concur, but I can't believe my little man is 3 years old today! He has changed so much and yet is still my baby boy. He is a bundle of energy, yet still sleeps as peacefully as he did as a newborn. He is trying to grow up so fast, yet he is still in need of kisses on his boo-boos. He is talking up at storm now, yet he still needs me to show him the way!

Niyi is strong willed and passionate in all he does. He loves cars, monster trucks and demolishing just about everything! He loves to run and dance and climb and jump and run and dance and climb and jump....then....sleep! He runs after his older sisters, trying to do all they do (of course getting frustrated if he can't!) and he follows his little sister around making sure she is safe and protected. My little man is so loving and kind, so sure of who he is...I'm sure God has awesome plans for him!

Oh my boy how much I love you! I love your energy, your passion, your total love of all things 'boy'! In a house full of girls God just knew to give you an extra dose of testosterone! ;-)

Here's my boy...through the years ~

A few days after he was born...he was a big'un!

With his big sisters....not sure what to make of them I think!

Supporting England from the start...

Watching TV already?

In the sling...where he lived for almost a year...(I kinda miss those days)

Mama's boy!

There's my boy's huge smile!

...and again!

Gettin' into stuff!

First big boo-boo!

Getting a big boy bed!

Second birthday!

Not so sure about all this snow...

Mr. Hip Hop!

Niyi enjoys life to it's fullest!

Relaxing with Kaiah...he misses his puppy... :-(

One of my favorite photos of him....
...I love you, Papa!
