#69: Create 1:1 time.

With 3 kids, I realize how valuable time has become. It is something that I can't make more of. I also know the power of 1:1 time and as parents, we continue to try to find special opportunities to share moments that matter with each child ALONE. Times get crazy. Our calendars are so full. It is hard to find time. Everyone is so busy. Money is tight. And to each excuse I say BLAH BLAH BLAH...I know I've used them to justify why I haven't taken individual time with my little ones...

Sometimes it takes a special occasion to guide you into some 1:1 time. It can be a school field trip, a special activity, a friend's birthday party or in this case a VERY SPECIAL WEDDING. Today Callie Marie Photography posted this photo from our recent trip to Cincinnati. Our old nanny asked Lyla to be her Flower Girl and Lyla was so excited (so was I)! Melissa has always had a special place in my heart and our kids adore her...the wedding was perfect. Lyla did amazing but for me the most memorable moments were being with Lyla 1:1 for an extended weekend. What an blessing for us. What a special memory we were able to make together. Special thanks to Callie Marie Photography for capturing one of these moments for me forever...special thanks to Melissa for not only asking us to be a part of this celebration, but for including Lyla and me in such an integral way.

I'm still in complete awe that we produced such a beautiful little princess...thanks be to God!
