| The Bender Family Christmas 2002 |
| With the business of our day to day lives we often forget to stop and take notice of what is most important to us. Sometimes, from being around each other so much we take each other for granted. I wanted to take a minute and create a page just to say how much I love the people whose pictures are on this page. My daughter Emily, 8, without whom I am sure I would have lost my sanity by now, she is such a helper to me and a really sweet loving girl. My daughter Madison, 2, who keeps me on my toes, literally but who always makes me smile in spite of her escapades, and who I think must be a little like I was as a child. My son Jacob, 1, who was a blessing in disguise. I was shocked to learn I was pregnant again when Madison was only 5 months old and very upset by the thought. As soon as he was born though, he won a very special place in my heart. He is my baby and very sweet and peaceful. And finally and most importantly my husband Jesse. This page is dedicated to you. Without you I am an empty shell. You complete me in every possible way. For all you do for our family, for the sacrifices you make, for your willingness to do anything for us, for the way you are able to make me smile when I want to cry, for seeing past my faults and knowing that what it all comes down to is that "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love me" I would be lost without you, I know our lives are far from perfect but I assure you there has never in my life been a truer or more passionate love than the love I have for you. I love you baby! All my love Always, Amy |
