After struggling with infertility for three years, we were blessed with the birth of Matthew and Kayla in March 2011 (by in vitro) , Nathan in October 2013 (by frozen embryo transfer), and Olivia in August 2015 (naturally!). We are loving every moment (well, almost!) of our lives as parents.

Enjoying Every Moment
This evening I went to the hospital to visit my sister and newest nephew (which brings my niece/nephew count up to 23! Yes, my kids have a LOT of cousins!). Holding a newborn is such a good reminder of how quickly they grow up. I went from holding a newborn to holding (almost) seven-month old Olivia and it's amazing/incredible/sad how quickly they grow up. So tonight when I came home, instead of cleaning up the toys all over the house like I normally would have while Olivia waited to be put to bed, I spent some quality one-on-one time with her, cherishing the moment because tomorrow, she will be another day older and another day wiser.

Theres 23??!! Wowza! Is that on both yours & Jon's sides?
ReplyDeleteYes, I/we have 17 nieces/nephews on the Struik side and 6 on the Vander Ende side. It's crazy when either side of the family gets together!
