My Happy Place

I am so totally in my happy place, so TOTALLY. I remember well when Tatum was a baby, I would stare at her so HARD, trying to freeze time. I remember the feeling in the pit of my stomach, and trying to capture each and every moment knowing they wouldn't last - and dwelling on the idea that soon that precious little tidbit - whatever is was - would be moving on to something different ... and bigger. I didn't want her to grow up. But she is. And fast.

Now that we are raising our THIRD baby - I've learned a lot. I have learned to appreciate the moments, however fleeting they may be. I find myself enjoying the moments for what they are - beautiful little pieces of LIFE unfolding right before my very eyes. And though I think sometimes time should slow down, I'm trying to embrace the fact that it'll likely only speed up with the busy bustle of our wonderful little family world. I think I'm ok with that.

Here are some images of another sweet baby girl who came third in the birth order. With two older ADORING brothers, she is the sweet princess. Snuggled and nourished by mom, whiskery-kisses from dad, and two amazing big brothers watching over. Her life will be nothing less than fabulous.

Thank you so much for sharing your afternoon with me ... you have a beautiful family :)
