Rocking thoughts

So tonight rocking my one year old I thought about all the ways and people who will hurt and disappoint her in her life, I know ridiculous right?  I just want to protect her, keep her safe, keep her bright eyed.  I go through this often, then I have to remind myself that though she may get hurt, she will make a million awesome memories, meet a ton of unique and interesting people, and do amazing things.  Hopefully the good will way out weigh the bad, hopefully I will continue to remind myself of these things and allow her to live the full life that she deserves.  Being a mom is so hard, but I wouldn't give it up for all the treasure in the world. 

Clark's party invites

CJ and I sat down and cranked out these invitations in two hours.  I was quite impressed!  I would have been even more impressed if Clark's first birthday wasn't last Saturday, the good thing is that she is too young to know the difference, last Saturday...three Saturdays from now, she won't care. I'm finally getting in the spirit of things and maybe three Saturdays from now I will even have had a chance to come up with some clever decorations...or maybe not, we'll see.
