Even though we are the parents and will teach Kailie many things as she grows, this year has given us just a glimpse of the many things Kailie will teach us as she grows up and I've already learned so much. I've learned how to love deeper than I ever thought was possible . . . I've learned about what really matters and what really doesn't . . . I've learned why my parents did some of the things they did (and I'm sure I'm just getting started here!!) . . . I've learned that my favorite sound is and will always be, my little girls laughter . . . I've learned that I can go without sleep and food for extended periods and not even notice (until my dear husband comes to the rescue!) . . . . I've learned that choka-choka-tocka IS a conversation . . . I've learned that Ma-Ma is more than just a first word . . . . I've learned that leaving for work and coming home from work are the very worst and very best moments (respectively!) that I have every day . . . . I've learned to see other kids through a Mum's eyes and have found that it has given me a greater love for other people's children . . . I've learned that God sends his angels as our babies to make us want to be better people for them . . . I've learned to pray pray pray! . . . I've learned that tears come quickly and easy when you have a life that is as blessed as ours:) These are just a few of many things I've learned this year and I look forward to all the other wonderful things Kailie will teach her Mum and Dad and she grows into a beautiful little girl.
Now on to the fun stuff! - we had a wonderful time celebrating Kailie's birthday with our friends here in Bermuda, below are some pic's of the celebrations.
Ok - so Mum will never make it as a cake decorator . . . but in my defense it didn't look that crooked when you saw the real thing - and there was a lot of love put into that cake so hopefully that makes up for some of the 'rough' edges!!
The morning of Kailie's birthday party - just testing out the toys!
Pretty Little Birthday Girl!
Playing with Hannah and Mackenzie
Ross and Zoe checkin' out the toys
Not a big fan of the birthday hats!
Time for Cake!
She was more interested in sharing her cake with Mum and Dad, but once she caught onto it she had a few good bites!
Brooke and Cameron helping Kailie to try out some of the great toys she got - thanks everyone for your lovely gifts!!
More cake the next day (her actual birthday) with Mum and Dad
