Endings

May always bring endings for me. The end of each year for my new girls, the end of the school year, the end of the stress of party planning, the end of spring and heading into summer, and the ending of a level of gymnastics. I often find myself super overwhelmed this time of year and this year I am adding in buying a house into the mix. I find myself struggling to come to terms with the new ages May brings. I have promised myself this year was going to be better, and it has. I am often so tired and cannot enjoy the moment, but I am enjoying every precious moment.

At this point in time my daughter has 3 more days as a 4 year old. I am so happy to announce I am excited for the new year even if I have cried several times! She's growing so fast and I am so lucky to get to enjoy another season of life with her!

Madilyn is turning into such a wonderful, brilliant little girl. Her smile is way contagious, her eyes glitter and light up when she is joyous and boy she feels joy much of the time. She brings so much comfort and love to my heart. She is lovable, funny, snuggly and always, always, always my little girl. She is so ready to celebrate her 5th birthday at Coolidge Park!

School is ending for both girls and I am still a little shocked that Kylie Jade will be in third grade! It seems so old to me, but I know she still has three years as an Elementary Schooler. Madilyn will begin her first real school year as a Kindergartner. I am beyond excited to see how much they grow throughout the summer and the new school year.

Kylie Jade has 22 days til she's 8! That just seems stupid old to me, but I am so very excited to see how much our relationship grows and strengthens. I can't wait to see how strong her friendship bonds get and how much better and focused she will become as a gymnast. Eight brings on a lot of new adventures and I am excited to go on this journey with her.

Endings are all fine and well, but I have promised to stay positive and now I look at it as a new beginning. New year, new levels, new classes, new life. It is so fun to think of the future and wonder what the girls will be into this upcoming year. God has certainly blessed this mother with the most wonderful little girls anyone could ask for. I am so thankful God chose me to be their mommy.

It is Mother's Day and I most certainly have felt the love today. Madilyn woke me up with "Happy Mom's Day!" And she handed me my breakfast. Kylie Jade ran in as fast as she could and kissed me on the cheek and told me how much she loved me. They pooled their money together and told me they wanted to take me out for lunch! That they did! It was adorable and I will never forget how special they have made me feel. I hope all you moms have enjoyed your little nuggets today and have felt so much love!

I will leave you with a few pictures and I promise to update this more often!
