Motherhood is a never ending thrill ride where you try to figure out what to expect and get into a routine. And just when you start to coast and think, "Everything is going so great!", you plummet or skyrocket out of that comfort zone. Someone gets sick, someone learns to roll across the room and get into new things, someone becomes pro at dressing/undressing/redressing herself, or someone decides to wake up at 2 AM even though he's slept for 8+ hours the past few days. Even with the ups and downs of this crazy ride there's nothing I'd rather be doing. 🎢 #family #fun #motherhood #memorizingmotherhood #babybenhardman
My baby girl is 4! 🌈🦄☀️💗 My favorite things from today: watching Eliza give Ben hugs after she opened her present from him. Making Eliza's birthday cake together. Hearing Eliza say, "I wish every day was like this day!" Talking with John about how blessed we are to have such a thoughtful, fun, smart, shy, sweet, sassy, and beautiful daughter.
I told Eliza that if I close my eyes I can see her as a tiny baby wrapped in her favorite pink blanket (that she still uses). And when I do I cry a little because I'm sad my baby is getting less and less like a baby and I cry because I'm so proud of who she is becoming.
Happy Birthday to my beautiful Liza Bean! #family #fun #food #hardmanhome
