Waffling daily between complete and utter brilliance, and losing it. Four young children will do that to a person…
Nine years ago, I held you in my arms for the first time.
I heard your tiny voice.
I looked into your eyes.
I smelled your skin and held you to my heart.
And I understood, profoundly, that my life would never, ever, be the same.
It is ever so much better with you in it, Kate.
Happy birthday baby girl. I love you.
I am a thirty-something wife and stay-at-home mom of 4 little children. My days are filled with playdates, storybooks and homework; naptime, diapers and laundry; boo-boos, boogers, wet kisses and warm hugs. There are crumbs on the floor, and sticky fingerprints on the windows. It is a time in my life that is very challenging, but there are moments that are like epiphanies in which I see very clearly just how beautiful my life is.
