What a weekend we've had. Ella Claire celebrated her first birthday Friday night. It was wonderfully shared with family and close friends. She had a great time, the weather cooperated, and not nearly as hectic as Greta Banks's first birthday...some things are better off the second time around!
Today we celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday! What a godly women she is! My grandmama is now living in an assisted living facility but her ability to continue her "matriarch" duties is in full force. She's able to gather us all to honor her and the legacy she continues to imprint in each of our lives. I can only hope I'm as sassy as her at 90!
This past week, a young mom in our community lost a valiant fight against breast cancer. I can't help think of her and my own children. Taking time to treasure the days, taking time to play with our kids and off the computer, taking time to say the "I love yous." Life's too precious to take it all for granted, even amongst the sassy tantrums an almost 4 year old can perform. Again, we get too caught up in the tasks to enjoy the little moments. A friend told me once that life with young children that the days are long but the years are short...how true it is!!
