Best birthday ever!

Today is my birthday. I am now 27. Wow time flies! I just want to share how thankful I am. I started this blog to enjoy keeping a record of my family. So I just want to share with everyone what the Jammes family has to be thankful for. The other day I took Harris to the doctor for his normal healthy baby stuff and the doctor told me the he had a " loud and significant" heart murmur. We were referred over to the University of Florida Pediatric Cardiologist. Today was his a appointment. I truly felt like everything was fine. We prayed and gave him a blessing. My real concern was that they were going to have to do these test that would hurt him or scare him. In the past week I thought a lot about how lucky and blessed I am. Then today on my birthday we went to his appointment and everything is perfect. He has what is considered a functional heart murmur.Which is fantastic! I was so relieved I did a little crying in the office. Then on the car ride home I said a little prayer to my Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for my life. I am so thankful that my children are happy and healthy. I totally underestimated what my own mom went threw during my whole childhood. I was also speechless at the love my heavenly father has for me. I lived for one week thinking of the hard times and trails my son word have to suffer threw if he did indeed have a heart problem. I can not imagine what my heavenly father most have felt knowing the hurt and the pain his son would suffer threw on behalf of me and my family and everyone I know and love. In one word I am so thankful for the reminder to love every moment in life good or bad. Words can never express the blessing my family and I have been given. Hard times or good times we have one another and a love that will last for all eternity. Today was a great day. Happy birthday to me and a high five to my Hare Bear who is a healthy little man.
