TIme Flie!

I can't believe how fast time goes bye while at the same time moves so slowly. I can't believe it's only been a week since we got home from Mesa. So much has happened. Our cute little town began it's 12 days of Christmas events and we attended the first night consisting of the light parade, the outdoor concert and the dreaded wait in line to see Santa. We also went to Show-Low last night for their light parade and finally put up our tree and decorations. We were going to put up lights outside but got hit with a really cold wind this weekend so we'll see.

anyway, my point is that just when life starts to get so hard or so busy or makes you so tired that you start to wonder when will I ever get time to myself again or time to sleep in past 7:30am, it is inevitably the same child who seems to drain your energy that also fills your sould with incredible light and love.

My little echo continually amazes me with the way she thinks and the things she says whether it is echoing my "oh shoot" in her cutest little voice or her ability to be so fascinated with one thing for so long....the lights on the tree or an airplane in the sky. My little 21 month old definitely stresses me out at times but when I stop to think how many more times she puts a smile on my face, I remember that it is all worth it....and then she spills the milk again and I start counting down until her little playmate arrives (Kinzie) all over again.
