Avery...
You thought I was too busy to notice that you help your brother and sister with breakfast every morning so that I can sleep in...
but, I did notice...
and I think you are responsible and thoughtful...and an INCREDIBLE big brother!
Lily...
You thought I was too busy to notice that the other day when Jack hurt his toe, it was you who comforted him, wiped away his blood, and turned on a DVD for him, to make him feel better...
but, I did notice...
and I think you will make an AMAZING mother one day!
Jack...
You thought I was too busy to notice that you were crying while you watched the movie, Beethoven, because the dog was left all alone...
but, I did notice...
and I think you have a heart of gold!
Jake...
You thought I was too busy to notice that you change the radio station from sports talk to "my" station every afternoon for my ride in to school...
but, I did notice...
and I love you more and more, every single day!
Joey...
You thought I was too busy to still have thoughts of you after all these years...
but, I am the woman, and wife, and mother I am today because of you...
and not a day goes by that I don't think of you!
