Firecracker.
Sorry, I have been away for a little bit. I was tired...for 4 years.
Having two kids is like having 17 kids. Life changing drastically - for us anyway. All of a sudden there is 0 downtime and you are forever reffing the team.
We had a very chill 1st child (imma brag for a half second). He was happy, patient, slow moving, cautious, slept like a champ, calm and loving with a huge attention span at a young age. We wanted two kids, a buddy for each other. A lifelong friend we hoped.
Boom. (chickawawa)
Enter second child which is NOTHING like the first.
From the labor itself even. I made it to the hospital and she was born 31 minutes later (this is a whole other post - yikes!)
She arrived, Kara Valentina McInnes and completed our family in such a way we had no idea we were missing.
She is a rocket.
She never stopped moving.
She was/is stuck to my hip.
She's a mama's girl.
She is a tomboy.
She is shy.
She loves so deeply.
She loves the outdoors.
She is kind.
She is caring.
She is forgiving.
She looks up to her brother.
She is a firecracker.
She loves trips.
She is funny.
She is demanding.
She is smart.
She is loved.
It has been a handful of busy years. We enjoy the slow times the most though. There are so many stories to catch up on, in time. But for now - see my favorites from her first year.

Beautiful Pennie! So well written. Your cousin Danny can never pull this stuff off, as he has as much time as you do. ;)
ReplyDeletePlease. Keep writing. It is obviously one of your many strengths. :)
