How in the world did this little love.....
Become this not so little love????
Happy happy birthday to my sweet Sidney Claire!! We just love you so much. It's so hard when you are pregnant to imagine another little life in your family and then just like that, after you are born it's impossible to imagine life without you! What a blessing you are to our family. You are quite the rascle and are everywhere. You might possibly be the worlds fastest crawler! :) Not walking yet but why would you when you can crawl the speed of light?! You want to do everything the other three do, and you notice when you are left out. You love all foods, no matter what and you eat everything. No more bottle for you but you do love your sippy. I'm pretty sure you are teething like crazy and have been quite the cranky girl lately but you are still the cutest cranky one year old ever :) :) You love to go to bed when you are tired, not tired, not so much. You LOVE daddy and want him the moment he walks in the door. You find your siblings so funny and no one can make you belly laugh quite like them. You LOVE your binkey, and would prefer for me to let you have it all day long. You are my first girl to take one and I must say it is so nice to have it when you are cranky! You LOVE bath time, which is funny b/c you had a STRONG dislike when you were tiny. Oh and music, you love music, but when we play Amazing Grace by Chris Tomlin in the car you sing! It is seriously the sweetest thing ever. You give such good kisses and love to pat people that you love. This first year flew by and I just pray that I can slow myself and our lives down enough to be able to say I am taking full advantage of ever moment I get to be your mommy! I am truly blessed!

Reminded..
Sometimes I forget. Well I forget a lot :) But I very often get so use to my surroundings that I take everything for granted. And then God see's this and sends something my way that really makes me truly see. That happened this week. Kyle and I have always had a huge heart for marriage. For what God call's it to be and what it can be if done IN HIM. Well this week circumstances made it painfully obvious the pain that is around us all, right in the middle of the church pews we sit in. Truley broke my heart and had me on my knees. But also made me hug my sweet husband a little tighter. Made me watch how I spoke to him a little closer. I am thankful. I am thankful we are both not perfect but in our reaching toward God together, it has made us very strong. Marriage is such a special creation from the Lord. Something he knew would bring us great joy, but also teach us a ton about obedience.

Trust
So my blog has been less than kept up :) It's so easy to download pics on Facebook I have found myself doing that a ton more. But I've missed the words of this blog. I've always been a writer, for as long as I can remember. And so I'm back :) And excited to be writing more again. I've missed it!

Fast.
Oh my goodness, I just want to eat her up. My baby. My sweet baby girl. She is simply delightful, in all her spunkiness even, completely delightful. I can't believe she is almost one. It's probably the hardest one year old birthday for me yet. I've always had a baby, so even as one was hitting their year milestone I knew I always had another almost here that would hit a year one day. But this month, watching this sweet thing grow fast, and I mean fast! It's a new sadness I have yet to experience. I know us mom's always say we wish we had a pause button, but scanning through pics of all my kids right now, deep inside I would almost do anything to be able to keep my kids this little. And the sad part is there is no stopping it. And it just gets faster and faster. She's going to start walking soon, I'm sure of it... and then there will be six walkers and that will be it. Six walkers, no crawlers, no crawlers even on the horizon... and it makes part of me sad. She is so perfectly squshey right now, soon she will grow more and that baby fat will melt away, yes a pause button right now would be amazing. Boy do I love these kids.
