The hardest experience of my life... the most rewarding experience of my entire life. I laugh when people ask me "so, are you going to do something once the girls are in school?". I AM doing something right now, and something quite incredible. I get to watch my three sweet girls grow up before my eyes and learn something new every day. I get to watch their bond grow deeper with each passing day, not only with Dan and I, but with each other. I could never be more fulfilled in life than what I am now.
The days seem to pass so quickly. Our little Breezer is already a month old for crying out loud! We've been staying quite busy. The pool opened this past weekend, and Maddie and Faith were in absolute heaven up at the pool swimming. And, yesterday we took them out to the duck pond to play in the sand which they love. I've been trying to fit in more time for the 'fun' stuff here at home that they're accustomed to doing-- projects, cooking, workbooks, etc etc. Maddie and Faith had so much fun decorating my fruit pizza for my birthday, and Maddie's been making our caribbean dip and back to baking more often. My big girls told me tonight before bed that today was "the best day ever" (they do say this about every single day though!) despite it being a rainy day. We did Play Doh and markers and paints nearly all day. That nagging "mother guilt" is something that I'm sure hangs around for awhile, but I feel as though I'm starting to be able to shake it more.
Our sweet Abrie couldn't be any sweeter. I love having my time with just her- as rare as that may be. It's so neat though when both Madison and Faith are begging to have their Beeba/Breezer awake so that they can play with her. You can see the bond between the three of them grow deeper every day, and I don't think there is a better feeling in the world.
