This whole "mom" gig never gets old

I feel like I haven't blatantly mentioned this recently. Or maybe just not enough times.

I love this little girl.


I love peeking around the corner to find her reading to herself and Pooh on the rocker.

I love watching her crash into Joe's knees when he opens the door at 5:15 p.m.

I love hearing "Mama? Mama?" and then a string of jabber as she asks me a question.

I love the pitter-patter of her feet, smacking the floor as she runs and skips everywhere.

I love when she blows kisses, they are always over-dramatic and accompanied by a loud "Mwah!"

I'm so thankful for this little girl who made me a mom.

P.S. Thank you for all the comment love yesterday. You all are the best.

You are such a great Mom Katie! I hope to be as good as you someday....

Aww, I love you both! *Sound of my clearing my throat*...sorry for the psycho-babble voicemail I left you regarding my excitement over Old Navy :-)

As frustrating as it is most days, I would not give up this gig. How can you beat hugs and smiles and the occasional (ok, frequent) happy hours with fellow moms and their kids :)

She is so darling. I love those pigtails. I wish Ella would let me put pigtails in her hair. :(

I love this job, too.

I love being a mom too. A really sweet post that captures this fleeting, loving, wonderful time.
