We made it a whole year!


I wonder sometimes what we have done with this year but I guess its too late to worry about that now. I do have to say its been fun and full of lots of new experiences. The first year of my first child has been one full of joy and love and lots of diapers...

A year is one of those mile stones that makes you stop and think and I have been thinking about how much I love being a mother, a few things that I Love about being a mother...

Watching Phil play, read, and even sing to his daughter.

Being able to see her excitement when I come into the room.

I love being there to watch her grow and develop her skills, its truly amazing to be able to visibly see them learning.

I love being the comforter for a hurt toe or a bad night.

I don't really know how to explain this but I love that she loves to be with me. She is so fun.

There are so many more, you get the picture. Of course there are all the things I don't like as much but Ill keep those to myself, if you have kids you know what they are, and if you don't I don't want to spoil it for you!!

While its not all roses (i never thought it would be) I would not trade it for the world, she brings so much joy and fun and laughter into our home. She is a blessing that I know I don't deserve but am grateful I have.


Happy Birthday Madison.
