even though...

...this is my first official mother's day...

today--three years ago

i brought home my first baby...

nershi

the one who taught me how to be a mommy

you kept us up at night...and you kept us laughing with your silly near-human personality...

we loved watching you grow (and wondering HOW BIG you would get!)

and now he's a proud big brother

i will never forget that day... i was already so proud of you! i couldn't wait to go get you until lee got off work... so dad took me to tarboro and i brought you home... and you went straight in the living room and plopped down under the coffee table (see the first 2 pictures), and you made yourself at home.

we love you nershi! :)
