Yesterday I sat on the sofa with Ryan on one side of me and Magnolia on the other. And I just cried! I do this at the end of every year. The reflections and emotions just overwhelm me. We talked about all of our big moments, all of our everyday moments, the grand times and the sad times. Watching Magnolia grow up right before our eyes is the absolute greatest blessing of our lives & also the one thing that makes my eyes fill with tears. I had no idea that motherhood would make my heart so raw. I'm four years in and I'm still blown away by the blessing of motherhood, the blessing of Magnolia. I re-read my post from the end of 2017 and I was reminded of how hard life can be, but it's always full of blessings. The past three months have been tough for me, and I'm sure I'll share more soon, but even during the struggles there are so many blessings in the storm.
Sharing a bunch of random photos from November and December! Watching Magnolia be a Tick Tock Mouse in the Nutcracker ballet was surely one of the most special memories of the year. She loved every moment of it and we are just so proud of our little ballerina. It looks like we were dressed fancy all the time, but in reality we were comfy clothes 90% of the time! And we will be tonight too.
