Today is the first day of spring.....although you wouldn't know it to look out my window and see a foot of freshly fallen snow. Today is more important than that. Today is also Abby's first birthday!! It is just amazing how quickly that year went by. This time last year I was in the hospital recovering from a c-section. It was 70-80 degrees outside.

Yesterday afternoon after church we came home, ate lunch, washed dishes, you know, the usually stuff. Little did we know the rest of the day would not be as mundane and normal.Sundays throw off naps what with the car naps on the way to and from church.

It’s That Moment
Everyone who is a parent has had that moment. And I'm not talking that moment where you learn to balance a baby on your knee while you use a public restroom. Although, that is an important moment too.No, the moment I am talking about is that moment you realize your life has changed. It's that moment you realize life is never going to go back to what you know of as "normal." For some parents, it happens the moment they hand you your newborn. For others, it's the first time you go out grocery … [Read more...]
