Stopping Time

Yesterday morning, before the sun was even up, I woke to Adelaide's big blue eyes and her big, beautiful (albeit toothless) smile just inches from my face, while she quietly cooed and stroked my cheek. It was the sweetest moment we've shared since she was born, and I was totally overwhelmed with joy and love. Everything else fell away and I would have given anything to freeze time and live that moment over and over. 

No matter how hard my days are, or what struggles are bouncing around in my borderline crazy totally overactive mind, she manages to be a constant bright spot. She's always making me smile, even in those moments where it's all I can do not to cry.
