I've been wanting to post for awhile about all the ways Berkley and Meredith are growing, not to mention all the changes that are coming our way. We're moving next week and Steven graduates on Saturday. I want to record it all, but I get overwhelmed trying to put it all in words. I get paralyzed and so, don't do anything at all. But tonight I was writing an email to Steven and typed a little something that expresses what I really want to say right now.
"By the way, did you know our children are amazing? By golly, if I don't love them more and more everyday. Meredith said a 6 word sentence today. She is so, so smart! And Berkley and I had a little moment at the dinner table when our eyes met and we could tell we were both wondering the same thing at the same time and then we both started laughing. We got home from our outing this afternoon and they, of course, wanted to play outside. Before you know it, all three of us were lying in the grass looking up at the trees and laughing. Moments like that, that's what every mom wants. I want to remember it forever! Love them!!!"
I don't have to explain everything. I don't have to put it into perfect words. I just want to look back on this blog and be able to capture the heart of my family. That is my heart tonight. I adore making memories with my children and watching them grow. I'm proud of my husband as he completes a journey he's worked so diligently towards for the last 11 years and I'm looking towards the next chapter of our lives.
