I just can't believe it! What a precious year we have had with adding her to our family. Her sweet spirit, joy of life and bright smile are etched forever on my heart. I mourn and celebrate my baby turning a year old. I will never again get to hold the tiny scrunchy baby on my shoulder or rock her for hours on end. I won't get to breathe in the baby smell and kiss her head as she sleeps in the ergo carrier. She will never be my little baby again.
pause...
I think that makes all moms sad.
But I also celebrate an amazing year and an incredible little girl. This weeks first blessings go to Evalyn.
Then
and
Now
151. For the way she scrunches up her nose when she knows she is being silly
152. For the way she crawls in turbo speed when she really wants something or the stairway gates are down.
153. For how she sings and claps her hands to her own special songs
154. For her love of the water, the laughter, the kicking and splashing
155. For the way she loves us
156. Because she knows what she wants. As a woman she will be amazing and God will use her for mighty things.
157. For the way she captures the hearts of EVERYONE and she loves it.
159. How she turns everything into a car with the sound and everything
160. Her wild side and curiosity
And for the weeks regular counting:
161. Beckham pointing out diamonds, rectangles and circles. He is LOVING learning new things.
162. How we are their entire world. God show me how to lead them
163. For Dirk, his handywork and his dedication to our family.
164. Beckham giving E hugs and kisses for no reason.
165. For God showing me Beckham's heart last night. It is so tender and loving.
166. For HOT weather and air conditioning. I just love summer
167. Friends and family to celebrate with
168. Naps and happiness that follows
169. The fresh smell of rosemary in the garden
170. CDs that teach us bible verses as a family.
Hope your week is filled with amazing gifts and moments of pure joy.
