Bitter Sweet

The 4th of July......is.......almost......HERE!

And I am kinda sad......

Aliya will be ONE.....

I am NOT.....

Ready!


It so hard to believe that soon we will celebrate her big first birthday. Soon she will walk. Soon she will begin to talk in sentences. Soon she may not want to be rocked. Or be held. Which leaves me thinking what WILL I do??



I will embrace the "new" season of life even if it means no more babies. I will enjoy a little more freedom. I will have such sweet memories of carrying, delivering, and feeding all 5 of them. I will make sure to kiss them goodnight. I will never take them for granted. I will be thankful for the gift that they are to us...each and every one of them!
