The beginning of my first journal...

This was the first entry in my journal dated 11/10/07

Today was a great day. Ana is in town to get her "grandkid fix." We went to the mall so you could play. Santa Claus was there and for the first time, you sat in his lap and gave him a hug. He was a good looking Santa and you were in awe. It was so much fun to watch you. Although you know about Santa, we want to teach you and Matthew what Christmas is all aobut; the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
We went to the food court, which was pretty uneventful in and of itself. At the end of dinner, you whispered to Ana that you needed $5 to buy your Daddy a treat. You were very adament that you got $5. You took your Daddy and walked him around the food court. I could tell you wanted to buy something very specific. You finally came to a place that sells fresh fruit smoothies. We think the fact that it had a Superman logo played a factor in your choice. You walked right up and handed a wad of $1 bills and told the gentleman that you wanted to buy a special treat for your Daddy. The man helped you decide on a Strawberry and Banana smoothie. When you got the smoothie you handed it to Daddy with unbelievale pride. Daddy was nearly in tears and, of course, I was also. This was one of those moments that I was so proud to be your Mom. I thank God for your kind, selfless heart and hope we continue to foster that kindness.
