Four

Our 'baby' turned 4 yesterday! Like I've said before and on every one of my daughters birthdays...I can't believe it...they are growing so fast! It's hard to fathom that 4 years ago this morning we were cuddling our little ninja! Taylor was just 17 months and truly thought this baby that had come home wasn't here to stay....she surely thought that she was the only baby in our house.

Kira was dubbed a ninja before she was even born - she was, as we called it trying to 'ninja' her way out of the womb at only 26 weeks. I was hospitalized and put on strict bed rest until I was 35 weeks pregnant and she came into this world only 3 weeks early at 37 weeks. I often think how different our circumstances could have been if she would have come so early in my pregnancy...she was a fighter and hung on as long as she could.

Ever since her first attempt at being a ninja, she has not let us down...she has been showing us her ninja skills daily over the last 4 years...to say the least, she makes us laugh every day! She is the most affectionate child I know, and she is an old soul with the most amazingly sweet little heart.

Here is how she has grown over the last 4 years:

10 Down...Forever To Go

Tomorrow is our 10th wedding annivversary. I really can't believe how fast the time has flown by...I know...how cliche...but seriously....all I did was blink for a minute and here we are! We have had so many wonderful moments and amazing times. We have made a wonderful life together, created a beautiful family and nothing in my life will be as fulfilling as that.

I always say how lucky I am that I snapped up "one of the good ones", and I really did. More than anyone in my life he just gets me...we get each other and I love that. Craig is a family man through and through, he works very hard for this family, he's kind, patient, a loving father to two beautiful daughters who adore him and I am so lucky to have been placed in his path.

I know, I know...of course its not always rosy and blushing in love...I'm not perfect, he's not perfect, but somehow in this imperfect world, full of crazy imperfect people, we're perfect together...most days;)
