Love you to the moon...
After I had my first daughter, it was beyond my understanding how I could ever love another child as much as I loved her...
and yet, we wanted more children...I just didn't understand how my heart could get any bigger, how it could hold this same powerful love for another child...
And yet...it happens...
Somehow, you have this little one first, and everything is new..you are suddenly a family of 3...
but, when #2 comes along, you wonder about the dynamics, and how you will handle it, how you will split your time...will you have to split your heart too?
with confidence I can say...NO...your heart does not split, it just multiples...
This little girl came into this family being a little sister...big brother had already made his debut awhile back...and now Mommy & Daddy's hearts are being multiplied...big brother is learning how to sacrifice time & energy, but in that sacrifice comes a multiplied heart that is able to give and love in bigger ways...
It is a house full..full of love, and happiness, and understanding...
A family on a journey together...discovering the powerful reality that they are in this all together...the memories they form and build from here on out are theirs alone...and it's bond that strengthens with each day...
Here's to "loving you to the moon and back"...
