How time flies!

Wow, we are closing out the year tonight and I haven't written since just after Michaya was born. I can't believe how time has flown by since her arrival. There is no way I could have imagined how wonderful life would be with her in it...just like my dad said. She is the most precious soul on earth to both me and her dad. We met her only four months but I cannot even think of life without her now. I love my husband and I love my family but I believe I can say my life lacked true meaning until she arrived even though I didn't realize it at the time. What an angel she is to the both of us.
Every morning when I wake up, I have the pleasure of turning to look at her as she sits patiently for me to wake up and greet her. When I do, she looks at me with her big beautiful eyes and gives me a huge smile...and it never fails. She is such a happy baby and just melts my heart. She lights up when her daddy comes through the door each evening and smiles from ear to ear with a little twinkle in her eye. She loves people too which is so nice to see. I love that she is happy and hope she always will be. We are so incredibly blessed.
We just returned from Christmas in Cincinnati with Opa, Nonna, Uncle Kilian and Aunt Tessa. Michaya's first Christmas has been a joy so far and we can't wait to see her with everyone else (my family) tomorrow.
