Here we go, no turning back now.........my first blog entry. I can see where this could be very cathartic and much cheaper than therapy :)
As I sit here and reflect- I cannot believe that our precious Grace is going into first grade. Where did the time go? I look at this precious child and am constantly amazed at who the Lord created her to be. The biggest blessing is that He let me be her mommy. Grace is so incredibly tenderhearted, funny, full of life, curious, thoughtful, LOVES TO TALK(much like her mommy), smart, sensitive, and many more adjectives on top of these. Did I mention the girl likes to talk? My mom so perfectly said the other day, Grace goes to sleep talking and wakes up talking. I know these days have already gone by so fast, so I remind myself to stop and really listen. I have to admit sometimes as a frazzled mommy I want to scream "BE QUIET", but oh the great things I would miss. It seems like yesterday that I was holding her on my hip and now she is almost getting to big for me to carry. I still long for her to crawl up in my arms and just melt into me. Good thing that is right up Grace's alley, at least right now.
Grace- Daddy and I love you so much and cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for you this year. You are a gift!
Now for Miss Emma: I cannot believe that she will be three before we know it. I feel so blessed that the Lord gave us two girls that seem to have more differences then they do similarities. Oh they do have similarities though- Emma can be very sensitive, she is absolutely HILARIOUS, has a strong independent spirit, loves hard, plays hard, knows how to throw a mean fit :), loves to snuggle, loves routine, and loves to dance. I continually stare at her and think what will you grow into. What plan does the Lord have for you? Man sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball, but the unknown is exciting and daunting all at the same time. Emma you continually make your daddy and me smile. You are so much fun and we love watching you grow into such a big girl. So blessed that the Lord let us be your parents.
We have so many new things to look forward to as a family! Praying for our sweet girls!
2 Peter 3:18 (New International Version)
18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.
