Another Year Down

This past saturday was my 27th birthday - I know, I'm not that old, but I already feel like there isn't much use to celebrate, or make a big deal out of this 1 day a year that always comes around, and reminds us that we are another year older. I like birthdays, I like them more b/c its your day! I don't want to think about the fact that I'm getting older, I'd rather just have 1 day a year where its all about me! And this year it was!
My best friend from forever came up to visit for the weekend, and we had a great time together. It was a great day saturday here, the weather was perfect and the temp was just right. We had a really nice time together and I got to spend my day w/ those I love and care for the most - my little family and the bestie.

Mark is gone for the next couple of days, and I'm sad by that. Its rainy here and cold, and depressing. Then add on top of that 2 little ones to care for and play w/ all day - being stuck inside its hard. I'm trying to make the best of it, my great neighbor asked us over for dinner, that was great - adult interaction! - b/c I didn't have to cook for just me a Kaia. Our neighbors are great, shes always bringing me something delish to eat, or asking us over, or just taking care of me. I love it : )

In life w/ the girls - I've found my new favorite thing, I forgot about it - holding and rocking a sleeping baby on your shoulder! Perfect. In those moments, normally @ night when I'm putting Olivia to bed, or back to sleep in the middle of the night, I feel like life stands still. That everything in this world is calm and just how it should be. That nothing is more blissful than that sound of her little lungs and her little breath on my neck. Perfect. I remember when Kaia was this little - and I remember how small she was - and I feel like that was just a few months ago! How is she already 2yr!?? They are both getting to be such big girls. I got a baby book as a gift for Olivia - thank you great grandparents! - and I've already forgotten some of the things that where her first, shes  3 1/2 mo old!!! Crazy. It makes me a little sad that the time goes so fast. . . . I don't know if I want them to be little forever, I think I'd just like to enjoy and remember the moments better.
