so many changes

Here we are 8 days into a new year, I can't believe how much has changed in the last 365 days.

The amount of love in our home has multiplied exponentially & immeasurably. One word says it all for me 'Katie'. I am so incredibly in love with her. She is this little spunky ball of fire. She's so curious, clever & determined. I am in awe. If she wants it, she will do or have it. Seriously, there is no happier moment in my day than when while getting her hair rinsed in the tub she starts kicking & splashing so much that the entire bathroom is water splattered. I love it! Or her amazement with our cell phones, it's compulsive, frustrating & adorable. She is my favourite person, plain & simple.

Then there is the love between this amazing man & I. He has held me so many times over the last year as we heard a first heartbeat, waited for a first cry, after we heard a first laugh, as I've cried and after I've laughed. He has nursed me back to health a few too many times over the last year. He has tended to my absolute every single need. He is beyond amazing to me. I'm so lucky to have him. More than that, WE are lucky to have him.

Watching them together makes me feel like nothing can touch us. That is pure love & nothing else matters. Seeing how caring he is with our baby girl is so endearing.

I've come to realize that I don't need a lot of things anymore. I have all I need in my life with this amazing man & our little spunky ball of fire.
