Because We Can't Always See the Bigger Picture

"Your life will change."

"But I like my life like it is."

"You will look back at this time and wonder how you found joy with this piece missing."

"I find that hard to believe. I'm happy, I have what I want.
In fact, if you're going to change my life,
then I'd like you to change it in a way where it's still the same...
but more".

"I don't take requests".

And then came you.

Obstinate, precocious, strong willed, clever, loving, beautiful, silly girl.


HE was right.

NOW my joy is complete.





Happy birthday my little Miss Ky.

    Happy Birthday to Miss Ky!

    I remembered her birthday because it is mine next week. Something that I would prefer not to remember.

    Too sweet! I love how you worded this birthday wish. Kids are wonderful. I don't know what life would be like without them. Boring, and uneventful. And boy would my blogging be mundane! Tell your little one Happy Birthday!

    Aw! I missed it. Happy belated Birthday to your beautiful little girl. It's truly amazing isn't it? How they just fill up spaces we didn't even know were empty. But they were.

    Happy Birthday, Miss Ky!

    Of course you would post this the week after my husband looks at me and in all seriousness says "We should have that 4th baby you always wanted." "WHAT?" I said incredulously. 5 years ago I'd have been all over that but our youngest is now 6 and he thinks that maybe we should have another one? Yowza!

    And then you post this. I'm just gonna stick my fingers in my ears and pretend I didn't hear that! Actually, it would pretty much take a miracle for us to have another one anyway so if God sent us a miracle, who would I be to turn it down? I'm glad that "his plan" worked out so well for you.
