thinking a lot about my brown-eyed girl this week.
not only because she demands it.....
a constant count-down (3 more days, in case you didn't know)
and a constant "this is my last time (eating dinner on a monday) as a 6-year-old..."
(you get the picture)
october is my favorite time of year....a reminder, always, of how blessed we are
and always a good time to reflect on what used to be. 7 years ago this morning, I was
driving home from work (Meriter Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin where I worked as
a full time night labor and delivery nurse) to my husband of 10 months who was an
internal medicine resident. we lived in an apartment downtown. i was very ready to
deliver, and I was very sure I would have a bald, chubby baby boy.
7 years later, looking forward to Friday and celebrating 7 years of Kate.
life is crazy, full of surprises.
looking through old pictures, i would do it again in a heartbeat. all of it.
and when I told Kate last night at bedtime that i will miss my 6 year old girl,
she reminded me that i will get another 6 year old in february.
that's right. i will.
