Many moons ago...

Many moons ago, I wrote a nightly blog, detailing the small moments of my life, or the huge milestones we had crossed.  Many moons ago, i was able to keep up with this nightly journaling, and even enjoyed it.  Now, i can't remember the exact day i last wrote.  I know that many milestones have passed in the last two weeks time.  Small moments, and big times.  My gorgeous and witty three-year-old turned four, an age that scared me to say, but made me realize that it just makes her four times more witty and four times more gorgeous.  
My baby, sweet, sweet, baby girl turned one.  She turned one on Friday and walked more steps than ever on Saturday.  And now, I'm waiting for the full burst of running to start.  
I have done nothing but think since Thursday night.  I have thought about this last year, how one year ago on the 13th, B was in my womb, and one year ago on the 14th, she was sitting in my arms, taking every detail of me in as i did the same in return.  We were meeting for the first time, even though I instantly had known her forever.  Over this last year, she has grown so much.  She started out so sleepy and quiet.  A good month or so in, she turned into Baby Wah-Wah.  She cried non stop for almost nine more months.  Maybe a slight exaggeration, maybe not.  In this last year, she has figured out how to share her emotions, without speaking a word- although verbal communication is not an issue for her.  She grunts and screams and coos and giggles.  She lets us know exactly what she does and does not like at all times.  She is an amazingly smart and beautiful little girl.
I thank God daily for the two little girls I have been blessed with.  The sheer joy that their being brings to everyone who is around them is enough to know how truly wonderful life is.


I am going to try to write again on a regular basis.  I am going to try to find the time and the energy to keep up with the kids, husband, house, work, family and friends... and my self.  I am going to rest more and get stressed less (or, again, attempt to.)  We'll see how it goes.  Hopefully I'll write about it!
