Happy Birthday Aggie!

You might have noticed its a little slow around here this week. It's been crazy in real life so I'm taking advantage of the slow holiday week to take a small blogging break. But I couldn't let today go by without mentioning that this little lady turns 3 today.

And when I say lady, I mean it.  No more baby here.  She has opinions and lets us know about them in a clear and convincing voice.  She is always negotiating for a little treat, a little more tv time, a little more time in her princess dresses.  She looks at the world with wonder and joy that I hope never leaves her.

I was a reluctant mother for most of my childbearing years. In my 20s I wanted nothing to do with motherhood. Even when I changed my mind in my 30s, I was still terrified.  It all sounded kind of awful - sleepless nights, diapers, being responsible for a tiny tyrant. I was wrong. I don't throw around the term "blessed" very lightly but there is simply no other way to describe how I feel about my girl.  I hope she always feels the overwhelming love I feel for her.  Happy Birthday little girl.

Please excuse the emotional break in normal programming. I'll be back with best of the blog recaps, a Vienna trip and a Paris themed birthday party posts soon!

  6. She is such a beautiful treasure!

    Being an older mother of one child, a son who will be 23 in a few weeks! Yikes....I understand where you're coming from. All I can say is that it just gets better & better. I've loved each stage of our son's life & you will as well. My fears were the teen years & becoming a mother-in-law someday but here I am totally in love with my daughter-in-law as much as my son. Those things we fear, they are hard to face & live through but totally worth it in comparison to the joy being a mother brings.

    Happy birthday to the star in your family!

  7. I love your honesty. I never felt the pull of motherhood either. But I jumped in crazily anyway and am cuddling my 2 month old little boy as I read this! I love your blog! Keep the travel stories with kids coming, please, and urban yards/gardens etc.
