My 1st post!

I guess I will start by introducing my two amazing children!  I have a daughter, Mackenzie, who will very shortly be 5 years old.  I cannot even believe she will be 5...a whole handful, as my mother would say!  When she was born, I remember thinking the 5th year was so incredibly far away and that when I actually DID have a 5 year old, it meant her childhood was O.V.E.R!  In a way, I still feel that way.  She is no longer a baby, but she will always be my baby girl.  She grows and grows every single day and I just want it to stop.  To freeze time and to not have another single day slip through my hands.  Maybe this is why I am so obsessed with my camera?  Maybe if I take a pictures as often as I can, I will capture their life and preserve it forever and ever.  Yes, that sounds perfect!  


Mackenzie is beautiful and full of spunk!  She will be the one who will always keep my husband and I on our toes!  She is brilliant, inquisitive and full of energy.  I know all people say their children have energy, but I'm not quite sure they have THIS much energy!  The girl just doesn't stop.  Her mind is always racing with curiosity!  I cannot wait to see the wonderful, amazing woman she becomes. 


Next in line is our Nolan.  Nolan will be turning 3 in late May.  When I was pregnant with Nolan, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to love another child as much as I loved Mackenzie.  How could it even be possible to love another child as much as you love your first?  How do you share your time...your love?  Would Mackenzie know or feel betrayed by me? I was so incredibly worried about this those 9 long months.  Well, D-Day came.  Nolan was born.  All it took was that first look and I was hooked!  And Mackenzie could have cared less that he was around.  She really wasn't that into it.  She went about her business, as usual.  And I am not being mean, I am thankful she reacted that way!  It could have been a lot worse, from what I hear! 
For me, it isn't that you love one more than the other, you love each of them for different reason's.  Because of who each child is.  Because of their individual personalities.  
To get back to Nolan, there is just something so special about him.  He is the sweetest, most cuddly, affectionate, sensitive little thing on the planet. I know all people think their kids are the greatest, but he truly is the sweetest kid.  He is "mommy's little boy."  And to be fair, that Mackenzie has her daddy wrapped around her finger ;-)  She melts him!
