letter to my daughters.

To my beautiful daughters,
I can't believe we are on our way to a family of four. When I started these letters, I had no idea that I would soon be writing to not only one but two daughters. Your daddy and I feel so blessed and we are so very excited.

Baby Bug, 
We are half way there and we are counting down the days till we get to meet you. Hazel was convinced she was having a baby sister and this week we found out she was right!  I have always wanted to have a sister and I am thrilled for the two of you. I just know you will be the best of friends.

Hazel Lou,
Some big changes are coming in the future and you are going to be the best big sister. You have really been into babies lately and you just love to hear your little sister's heart beat. You have told me numerous what the baby says, "go go go go go go". I just know how much you are going to love and take care of your baby sister. I also know what an amazing role model you will be for her.

I am one proud Mommy and I look forward to the days that I will be watching my adorable daughters play, share, laugh, comfort, and be there for one another.

I love you both to the moon and back!

xoxo,
Mommy

spring...finally.

It is finally starting to feel like spring and we made our first trip to the conservancy.  Hazel had so much fun finding rocks along the path. Who knew counting rocks could be so much fun!

365.

Is it me or have the days gotten shorter?  I just can't seem to keep up!  I ended up missing a few days on this personal challenge, but determined to get back on track! Time to buckle down.
