Big one, Little one

This was Blake's HS graduation. One moving on. One just begining. Leanna makes me realize how much you miss as a young mom and never realize you missed it. First you are so busy looking for the next milestone that you miss the tiny moments. Then you have 2 and you miss all the changes in the older one while you cope with the younger one....then you find yourself so busy just keeping up with them you forget to cherish each day. Everyone should have a child at 40 when you are old enough to appreciate each day for the miracle it is. When she cries at night (and amazingly she does not do it often) I hold her close and am thankful for each breath she takes. Yes somedays I'm tired and somedays I stress about what will happen at work when she gets too mobile or too noisy but I am so blessed to have her ... Every day.....
