Seven Years...

To think seven years ago today....I became a mom.




Happy 7th Birthday Kaitlynn!!!!



Today as I looked at the the new clothes you received I was in shock and awe. Just completely speechless at how long the pants were...are you really that tall??? I don't wonder where the time has gone because I was there when it all happened...when you took your first steps, said your first word, started pre-school, walked into kindergarten, swam 50 meters or suddenly evolved into some type of math wiz.

However, like any good parent I can't do it all, I did miss a few things (more than a few) when Madelynn was recovering. The amount of guilt a parent can feel some days is astounding. I have spent too many hours/days/weeks trying to make up for it. Until suddenly one day I just decided to accept what I can't change. I also decided to celebrate today and make every day count. Had it not been for you I am not sure when or if I would have ever discovered that for myself.

Thank you for helping me enjoy everyday. You are a great big sister and I could not be prouder of you. Hope you have a great!!!

Love, Momma
