focusing on just today


in the last 18 days there has been:

1 amazing girls night out in Virginia (a theatre show and fancy dinner complete with cocktail dresses!)
1 amazing girls night out in Ohio (we took two pregnant women to a line dancing bar club until 1am)
4 Children's Museums in 3 states and
the Creation Museum in yet another state.
1 hotel
1 bed and breakfast
2 trips to see out of town friends
Batman Premier at the midnight showing....that is a flippin' 3 hr movie, btw.
10 of the days were me flyin' solo while Jake took a work trip to England for an air show
2 nights/mornings where we didn't go to bed until 3am
1 night/morning where we went to bed at 2am
1 rescheduled birthday party for some special little girls of mine because after the list above, I just couldn't pull it off - not even a bad one!

not a lot of sleep but a TON of memories...a ton.

today though...today I'm going to just focus on today.
tomorrow too.

because I have a little girl who's been waiting for tomorrow for 364 days...


my heart already hurts.
she was helping me make her requested cheesecake for the celebration tomorrow and I looked over to see this:



 how in THE WORLD does she look that grown up!?

ouch ouch ouch.
and then focus.

I'm there. They turn 9 in 2 months and I'm not ready. The last 6 months have been so mind-blowing in so many "I want them to stay little" ways. But they are beautiful...all of our many little girls.
