Happy Birthday to our Littlest Woman!

You are so precious!

A joy to our hearts!

You make us happy!

We love you!

One Year Ago Today...

One year ago today...

Preparations were underway and anticipation was high. Our world was about to be altered and we had the luxury of knowing it.  

Questions we had... Answers we found...

How would our cherished little woman adapt?

Every little woman needs a sister, her own special forever friend.

Would our feelings for the second be as strong as they were for the first?

Parents love their children and there are no exceptions to the rule. 

Would our trio of love evolve as it accepted an additional member?

We have evolved, our love has evolved, our story has evolved.  

One year ago today...

Our lives were on the brink of change.   

Since then...

We have learned to embrace the evolution of life for we are a part of the journey.  

A Precious Moment On My Birthday

This year my four year old Little Woman gave me a beautiful birthday present.

She presented me with her sweet little soprano voice singing a solo rendition of "Happy Birthday" which was quickly followed by a sincere and innocent "I Love You Mommy!" 

How the little things mean the most.  

What better gift for a mother than unconditional love given freely by her child. 

I had a wonderful birthday.  I love spending quality time with my family. In the back of my mind I can't help but think how things change all to quickly.  If I could freeze time I would, but since I cannot I will make a conscious effort to savor sweet moments of time as they happen.
