So Thankful!

I have been a little sad since Kennedy turned one. I know she is our last baby and I am elated by all of her milestones but it's bittersweet knowing we will never again get to experience having an infant, a first smile, first laugh, first tooth, first word, etc. Today I remembered how lucky I actually am and decided to quit feeling sad about it. I am lucky enough to be a stay at home mom who actually gets to be around for these milestones. I can't imagine working and being gone 10 hours a day and missing all of this. My days are long and not free of stress but they are priceless when I get to spend time with my girls and watch them grow. They grow so fast and I don't want to miss any of it. I know we could use the money from me working but it would never be worth what I would miss at home. There is plenty of time for me to work later but for right now I'm going to soak it all in because my girls will never be this little again.
