Looking back and looking ahead


What a blur! That is what the past year feels like to me. Which makes me a little sad, as I want to remember every moment of being Hadley's mom. I do know it has been the best year of my life. And while I will shed a tear or two (or several) over the next couple of days, there is much to look forward to and more memories to make. I am humbled and grateful for the opportunity to be a parent. And thankful everyday to spend time with my wonderful little girl.

We'll celebrate the big day tomorrow but just hanging out at home and playing with our new Fisher Price kitchen! Sunday we'll smash/eat birthday cake with a few friends and of course both grandmothers.

Happy 1st Birthday Hadley! We love you!

Happy Birthday, Hadley!

Mom, your tears are not shed alone. I can feel your sadness, happiness, hope, fear, joy. Enjoy every moment!
