Happy Halloween! I have been somewhat absent from by blog, but will do my best to keep up better. Halloween just happened to be a perfect time to start back up. Today I reflected on all that has happened in just 1 year. A year ago Jay and I sent out a very special Halloween card. It was a card that wished our close friends a Happy Halloween with a special message...another baby was on the way! It was not a trick, but an amazing treat.
Last year at this time we were celebrating Kyle's FIRST Halloween. I can remember feeling all the love in my heart for him, and the fear of having another baby. To say I was surprised to be pregnant so soon would be an understatement.
But, now here we are a year later celebrating Hailey's FIRST Halloween. It is incredible all that happens in a year. We went from being shocked we were pregnant to blessed and amazed by our beautiful little girl. I can't believe that in 1 year I went from sharing a heartbeat with this itty bitty stranger to today, celebrating her first Halloween where she is a beautiful, happy, healthy, thriving, dressed up 5 1/2 month old.
My cup runneth over for my two babies. I realize they truly are a gift. Angels sent through me by God. I don't know what next Halloween holds for us, but I know this Halloween truly showed me all that can happen and change in a year. The challenges we face, the love we share...its something no howl or ghoulish creature can destroy.
I hope your Halloween was as memorable and as special as ours. Full of fun tricks and yummy treats.
Yea! Welcome back to the blog! I love reading about your babies, especially since I'm about to follow in your footsteps! That picture of the two of them is phenomenal--you better get that framed!
