We are excited for 2011...except for Emma & I, we have a hard time with change. Tonight before bed, Emma lost her 5th tooth. She always cries when she loses a tooth & not because it hurts, but because she is different after it is gone...just a little bit older. I cry too, because I love her tenderness & apprehension for change. It is hard to let go of what you know. After writing a long letter to the tooth fairy we tucked her into her bed-we prayed, sang to her and kissed her goodnight. She had the hardest time leaving 2010 behind. I will too. I have always found New Years Eve far harder to endure than my birthday & getting older. I wish the year never had to change. Every year is so special & for so many ways & reasons. It's hard to imagine having another year quite as wonderful as the one we just lived. However, like losing a tooth, the time keeps changing and Emma & I will learn again that change is inevitable. Tomorrow we will write about all the goodies of 2010 & then carefully & with a hint of sorrow & thankfulness mixed together- we will usher in 2011.
Happy New Year!
No way. L DUB?!?!?!! I stumbled upon your site from reading a post Celia left on facebook. I CANNOT believe you have 5 kids. The last time I saw you, you were just ending your pregnancy with your first little one. That was 8 years ago. How are you? You look great :) If your on facebook find me! You can search for Melissa Travis or Melissa Perea (my married name) both should pop up. I would love to catch up. You are an amazing photographer. Miss ya!! p.s.
