2 years ago

Two years ago today I was in labor with my darling Charlotte.  Unbeknownst to me, we were experiencing a serious heat wave.  In my warm birthing tub I was oblivious  but those attending to me weren’t.  Our apartment was probably a balmy 85 and the others were in shorts and t-shirts.  A stark contrast to today, two years later, where Charlotte and I are enjoying a quiet day indoors appreciating rain and warm clothes.

As Charlotte and I were walking downstairs today to get breakfast I mentioned her birthday and she immediately began chatting about a party, presents and cake; none of which are taking place today save for a couple of small gifts.  It’s just amazing to me that she and I can hold somewhat of a conversation.  I thank the Lord for this little person with all her joy and beauty and love…our lives are so much fuller.
Here’s a shot just after breakfast this morning, Happy Birthday my precious Charlotte!
