We almost always celebrate Chase's birthday wrapped in with Mother's Day. I certainly don't mind sharing with such good company. I'm very blessed to have these kids. Everyone of them, though there are there downs, bring something wonderful to the table and our lives. Cole is very special because he's our first born. After the loss of our first daughter he was such a welcome to our world and was our world for 3 straight years. I'm thankful for that time to focus only on him and his heart. Then, came Chase. Chase was brought home on Mother's Day, so he will always be my best Mother's Day gift ever! Kaelin was our first daughter to have and hold. She was so wanted and waited for in Korea. Chelsi was the one I wasn't really sure we were going to have. Brian was on the fence about a 4th, but Cole and I got him talked into just one more. Jaemin was our surprise! He wasn't a ooops baby or anything that people call their babies when they accidentally get pregnant. He was a great surprise. In the end, 4 were planned, 1 was not, but I wouldn't want life without any one of them. They each have a gift for me and I love seeing life as we go through it together through them. We've been through too much together and I hope they always love and appreciate each other for their individual gifts.
Chase is 14 (well tomorrow)!! He was so excited yesterday to tell me he had grown. The football coach measures them during weightlifting to track things and he had grown 2 inches. He's now pushing just under 5' 9". We were starting to wonder if he was ever going to grow. He said he wants to be 6'7". :) Don't know that that's going to happen, but he says it's possible since the doctor said Cole's growth curve said 5'11" and he ended up being 6'2" and Chase's growth curve was saying 6'4". We'll see. Chase will be a good young man. He's sweet and kind and, well, nice looking. Love my middle baby!
Happy Mother's Day to my mother, my grandmothers, my Korean children's foster mothers and their birth mothers. Without all of these women, we would not be or be who we are.
It was Jaemin's last soccer game too. He really did enjoy it and wants to play again next year.
