It's funny to remember what you were doing about a year so I was just remembering when I first found out I was carrying our precious baby, Magdalene. It was a few days ago exactly when I first told Jordan and our family and friends. What a joyous moment it was for us! We were so excited to meet her and now our little baby is growing so fast. She's about three and a half months old!!! I know that my family isn't watching her grow so I wanted to share a few things you're not able to see because of distance.
1. Magdalene talks really loud! Wow, she has a voice. I think she's trying to imitate me when I constantly sing to her. I think I just about sing more than actually speak to her. It's way more fun! Her favorite prayer is "Hail Mary", and she smiles every time she hears Holy Mary.
2. She absolutely loves the Twinkle Star Helena gave her. I play it for her almost every time she gets her diaper changed. Magdalene loves staring at it and hearing her tia's voice.
3. I feel like it's Christmas everytime she gets a package. I love all the cute things you all send her. We really appreciate it!
4. She loves to talk like her mommy!
5. And I think she's going to be a thumbsucker like her mommy! But I won't put hot sauce on her thumb like Pai did to me!!! By the way, sorry my dental bills cost so much.
Well, that's the five top things I wanted to share with you, family and friends.
**I am comforted to know that although I am far from you now, it will not be forever. It is more important to be with each other one day in Heaven.
I have learned a great deal from Fr. Henry La Praz. "To accept- to offer - to thank."
I accept that we are far apart, and I offer up that sacrifice to God. I thank Him for the opportunity to make sacrifices for Him since He sacrificed His only Son.
What a day....
