A Mother's Day post about Maddox's AMAZING Mom, Kelly!

I don't even know where to begin, because there are SO many good things to say about Kelly, but I feel a very strong need to dedicate a post to her right now!  Obviously I mention her a lot, she is Maddox's AMAZING Mom and a huge part of his story.  Since I've met her, which wasn't so long ago, I knew she was a great person.  Seeing her as a Mom to the amazing blessing that Maddox has been leaves me almost speechless.  I don't know how to describe her to people other than amazing...I need a thesaurus.  My heart is so full of love for this new member of my family that I could not be more proud to call my sister in law.  Beyond the Mom she is, I think of how lucky I am that she and I are able to hit it off and communicate one on one and that I am able to hear about Maddox through her and get pics from her.  If I could choose, I'd rather have her be a great Mom and a horrible sister in law, but to get BOTH, I'm lucky!  She works so hard on a daily basis with that AMAZING baby that Maddox is in an effort to teach him everything other babies can do, if only in a different way.  I believe that between Kelly's efforts and love and what I saw in Maddox's face the first time I held him in the NICU, that I find it hard to believe that Maddox will not walk ONE day!  But, if he doesn't, that's okay, too. 

The last post was rather grim, but since then, well right after, Kelly worked on teaching him to roll over on an incline and was quickly SUCCESSFUL (HUGE round of applause, PLEASE!!!)!!!  There is a video of him rolling over, which I loooove on Facebook, but I can't figure out how to get it here...sorry.

So, in closing, thank you Kelly for being a friend, a wonderful sister in law, a loving aunt, Maddox's AMAZING Mom, a wonderful soul mate to Brandon, and a much loved daughter in law to my Dad and Jane!  We all love you sooo much!  I'm so happy that you had a wonderful Mother's Day with your boys!  You deserve it!  Xoxo

 

Beautiful as a Mother
