One Year Ago...

One year ago today I was helping out in my younger son's kindergarten class oblivious to anything in the outside world. As he went to half-day K he got out at 11AM. There were two messages on my cell when we got to the van. Both from Mike. One saying "We're at the hospital. Get here as soon as you can"(I had been supposed to be in the delivery room when Baby Girl was born) and another saying that Baby Girl had already been born. I called Mike right away and found out that I could come in even though Baby Girl was so early. I called my sister-in-law to watch the kiddos and raced to the hospital. I ran in and saw Karin and Mike and stood there impatiently for all of about 30 seconds(you know the baby is the important one here!) before I asked to see my baby. Mike took me to see her and there...Oh my....There was the absolute tiniest baby I had ever seen. So little, so fragile, so amazing.
I've watched that tiny fragile little thing grow into a gorgeous healthy almost toddler. Amazing how fast a year goes. From tiny and helpless to a microphone eating, peekaboo playing, "blah, blah, blah" saying big girl.
Happy Birthday my darling goddaughter. You are a blessing. I love you!
