How is it that this little girl was such a wee thing 6 months ago? All curled up in her Daddy's arms. It's pretty amazing how fast they grow and change. It's also pretty remarkable how much Dax and I have changed as well. Almost as much as Harlow. Looking back, what did we do with all our time? There must have been so much of it! Now, my life is consumed by when the last time Harlow pooped, when is the next time she might be hungry, when is nap time that day, and how am I going to fit in a trip to the grocery store, pick up my books I reserved at the library (we only do pick up at the library, no browsing) and make sure all the laundry gets dried and folded before it wrinkles. But, man do I love it! It is so much better than being physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted every day from a job that can be very thankless. Harlow thanks me every single day with each smile, chuckle and snort. She reminds me of how important of a job it is to be a parent. We want to be the best we can for her, live by example like our parents did for us. We want to teach her the importance of being NICE to one another, doing kind things for OTHERS, and enjoying each day we are BLESSED with.
We are so excited to be among our family in a few short days. We are headed to Texas for almost 2 weeks! We have two weddings to attend, the first with our dear friends Erika and Jason and the second, cousin Mckenzie and Joseph! It's going to be so nice to have a change of pace and a lot of exciting fun-filled days! I know Grammie and Papa K can hardly contain themselves! See you soon guys! XOXO
