Just a Blink

If you are tuning in to this post for academic ideas, or school related content, you may want to turn elsewhere as this is a small reflection on the past year.

If you would have asked me a year ago what I thought motherhood was going to be like I would have been very wrong! I cannot believe a whole year has flown by since our sweet Ansleigh was born. The second she was placed in our arms, our world, and our love has forever changed. Although our Friday and Saturday nights look very different than they used to, we wouldn't change it for anything.

Before you were born everyone told us that it would fly by very quickly, we nodded our heads, but never did we REALLY believed it. Perhaps because maybe it seemed like something new was happening every day-new developments, new challenges, new discoveries, and new joys. When I look back on this past year it is hard to remember those beginning sleepless nights, they came and went (fortunately) very quickly. I wish I could make time stand still. I want to have another opportunity to see you open your eyes and observe the world for the first time and to rock you to sleep. I want to relive the joys we had when your rolled over for the first time and discovered how to sit up on your own. And the excitement you had when you could get around the house by crawling. I cannot wait to get to experience the joys and excitement with you with all of your future developments and achievements.

Your Daddy and I have never felt a love so big and so unconditional. Somebody once told me that the love we feel for our children is the closest thing we will know or feel that compares to God's love for us. I love that! Here is to another healthy and happy year!

Happy birthday sweet Ansleigh! Mommy and Daddy love  you so much!!! You melt our heart each and every day.
