Today I put together the invitations for Ellie's second birthday party. How has two years passed by already?
Many years ago, I read an article about Martina McBride (country singer), who had two daughters at the time. She told the interviewer that they had always intended on having more children but had been surprised that their youngest was now 4 as time had passed so quickly. When I read that I thought "yeah right, what a load of baloney", not having any clue as to how fast time does fly with children. Now I realize just how right she was!
As I was walking through the living room just moments ago, a photo flashed up on our digital picture frame of Ellie in the delivery room. One of those typical photos of a screaming naked baby covered in goo. How is it possible to be transported back in that split second and hear the crying and the hustle and bustle, and then look down and there's this little girl in front of me who's independence is growing on a daily basis?
I love the moments I get, like last night when I was tucking her in bed, how she snuggles into my neck and holds onto the neck-line of my t-shirt. Those precious moments are so sweet to treasure in my heart.
