Today was Delanah's first Halloween. This time last year I was one week away from having her in my arms...amazing how quickly this year passed by. So many "firsts", too many to count. Will I cry next week at her birthday or be too wrapped up in the little things to truly enjoy it? I hope I take the time to stand back, breathe and take it all in. Two years ago I was trying to find my feet as a new physical therapist, now I am trying to raise a daughter the best way I possibly can. I learn new things daily; about myself, about parenting, about that gorgeous little bundle of energy.
Today/tonight was not about getting candy, spending time with strangers, it was about family and I loved it. Delanah got to spend time with grandparents she rarely gets to see, I got to spend time with the parents who raised the man I love...what a great day. Okay, I admit, this morning was spent cleaning :) I wanted to make sure to get all the "dirty work" done so I wouldn't have to worry about it during the week. I feel so accomplished! Now if I could just figure out how to keep my neighbors from pounding on the walls and take away Dave's cold....
