yesterday i cried. 

i cried because the holiday season is over. but not just that. i was sad that Little S' first Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas + New Year's has come to and end. as a first time parent, i have dreamed about these "first." it's hard not to want these first moments to be perfect. did i take enough pictures? was her costume as good as i hoped it to be? 

and in reality it was. it all was pretty perfect. 

these are all such insignificant things though. in light of recent current events, i am just blessed that i have a healthy baby girl. she is here, and she is mine. what more could i ask for? it's easy to wish for perfection when it comes to menial things, but she is perfect. we are so blessed.
