Addy Kate is turning ONE! I'm not usually a fan of "cliche" phrases...but, MAN- TIME FLIES!
It has been one year since that Saturday afternoon that we sped down 280 with our hazard lights on...
(for once, it really was like the movies!) ;-)
I remember it like it was yesterday...the excitement, the fear, the pain... and the hope of
knowing what was to come. It's amazing to experience such intense pain- yet in a split
second feel nothing but pure JOY and LOVE! At the sight of her tiny little face and the sound
of her great big cry...my heart instantly changed- as I became a mother all over again.
"BLISS"- The highest degree of happiness; to rejoice; blessedness.
This past year has been bliss (with the exception of a few really hard, not-so-happy days)...
Bliss getting to know her, and her little personality. Bliss watching her grow and explore.
Bliss watching the way she has changed our family- in countless ways. Bliss watching
Charis learn life lessons through her! Bliss experiencing such great reward in having her
and being able to mother her. Bliss in hearing her laugh, bliss in feeling her big cheeks next
to mine. Bliss in praying that God will be her refuge in this life and the life to come... Bliss in watching her
daddy absolutely smitten in love!
Addy Kate, you are such a treasure to our family. You are beautiful. You are deeply
loved. You are safe. You have purpose. You belong. You are hilarious. You
are strong. You are loved by your Maker. You are worth 10 million loads of laundry! You are so much fun! and...You have my heart!
Mommy, Daddy, and Big Sis
