Writing these "letters" has helped me to process life as a new mother, remain thankful, and come awake to the little moments that make this pretty challenging season simply wonderful.

Day 84...Painting the town!

Dear Sadie...
Tonight your daddy and I painted the town.  What does that mean anyways?  And why do people say that?  :)

Yes.....Daddy and I got to go out on a date!  We almost forget what time alone felt like!  Haha!  That happens.  Funny thing....we always miss you rascals whenever we go off.  No matter how hard you try, the conversation always comes back to the kids.  We love you that much!

Just a note today: put your marriage first.  Make time to love your husband; make time to get away.  Do what you did at first.  Because if you wait too long, and you let too much time go by before remembering and cherishing happens, it takes a long time to reconnect.  Family life with children always poses a threat, but it doesn't have to compete like that.  We nurture our relationship with our spouse because we remember that it's that love that gave birth to the family in the first place. :)
Love,
Mommy
