It is amazing how simple life can become:
eat, sleep, poop! We've gone back to the
basics you could say. That is basically our
life right now and so the seemingly simple
has become some of the more
beautiful moments of our lives.
One night after being awake for a long time in the
early morning, Anne finally was settling down.
I had her cuddled up in my arms ready to lay
her in her cradle, she started smiling. She
smiled several times (okay okay probably gas but still),
it was so beautiful. Swells of love filled my heart and
out my eyes as I realized again, what a miracle she is.
She was the answer to thousands of faith filled prayers,
years of waiting and then more miracles still.
The name Anne means: Grace of God. How
true that is in our life. Even though I was so tired
that morning it didn't matter, I held her longer,
believing those smiles were just for me.
Another beautiful moment was this morning,
I went back to bed. As I started drifting back to sleep
I heard Scott, doing the dishes, making french toast,
singing "Let it snow" (which it just did, but didn't stick),
and talking to our baby. I fell asleep smiling!!!!!!
Honestly, what more could you want on a Saturday morning.

She is SO beautiful! Funny because Eric made french toast this morning too and was cleaning when I got up. It feels good to be married to such good men! Enjoy that tiny baby! It goes way too fast! I'm dreading it being over already and we're only a few days into it!
Thanks for sharing those sweet motherly moments. Being a parent is such an amazing blessing from God. How are you recovering from your c-section? They are rough! I didn't realize how much I used my stomach muscles until I had my children. I hope you are doing well. Anne looks great!
