Things Pondered

My sweet Evelyn Joy turns one tomorrow at 3:29pm. What a year it has been!

• 365 of holding her cute little body in my arms
  
• 365 days of looking at her beautiful face
• 365 days of watching her sleep
  
• 365 days of tears, smiles, laughs, giggles, squeals, and snuggles
• 365 days of seeing life through her eyes and learning from it
  
• 365 days of watching my husband be such a wonderful father
• 365 days of prayer, love and support from family and friends
• 365 days of swaddling, sleepers, cute outfits, and socks that never stay on
• 365 days of breastfeeding, pumping, formula, bottlefeeding, spit up and cleanup
• 365 days of being tired and being rejuvenated with a thought of her
  
• 365 days that I won't ever get back again... and hope I made the most of them
• 365 days of wondering how God could give me one of His children to love, care for and raise up in His behalf
• 365 days of thanking God for such an opportunity
• 365 days that have changed my life
  

Thank you, Evelyn, for bringing such joy into my life! Happy Birthday, sweet pea! I love you so very much. It is an honor to be your mommy!
