Life is Beautiful

my youngest is turning two tomorrow

~ Etc.

*i’m guest posting at Ucreate today!
so if you want to see what i’ll posting here on monday, go take a look!

i took these pictures yesterday.
my favs are of her in her Korean traditional dress.

ah.  why do i always get more bitter than sweet every year on my kids’ birthdays? my sweet-spirited, cuddly, caring, sharing, thoughful, beautiful little ariana is turning two tomorrow on the 12th.  and my heart is literally aching and hurting physically as i type.  i might even be tearing up right now but i’m never gonna tell. 😉  isn’t it funny how your heart can literally ache and hurt?
oh how i wish there were pause buttons in life so i can stop from moment to moment to cherish life without realizing that every second is ticking away and being gone away as i’m thinking that thought.  does that make sense?
having kids forces you to be more selfless whether you like it or not.  having kids makes the world so much more beautiful as you learn to see the world in their eyes.  having kids fill you up with so much joy and complete satisfaction in life.  before i had kids, i’d go to bed thinking, ‘what have i done today? did i do anything good? anything worthwhile? did i serve someone today or make someone more happy because of my actions?” i no longer ask those questions anymore.  because i know it’ll be a yes to every one of them.  i go to bed every night feeling fulfilled and proud of myself for not wasting the day or not doing any good.  everyday i know i did the most important mission in my life which is being a mother.
and ariana, that is all because of you and your sister. thank you for letting me be your mother.  i could never ask for a better gift from God.  i feel like my love for you grows so rapidly, every single milisecond, that my heart is always trying to catch up with it.  you are so lovable.  you are so amazing.  you are so beautiful.  you are my baby.  thank you.  i owe my life to you for all the things you’ve done for me.  so happy 2nd birthday my sweet lil’ ana! love you forever and ever and some more.

    very cute, and loved your guest post. I am really thinking about trying that shirt out. Hope your little one has a good birthday, and time slows down for you. 🙂

    hopped over from ucreate. adorable girls you have. great photography, and yes, my heart aches to see my children grow. my youngest (of 4) is turning 2 next month and i am sad about it, but trying to pause and enjoy the cuteness that she is right now.

    Will you please tell me what kind of camera you used to take those pictures? They are awesome. (and of course I realize that it takes talent and not just a nice camera to take pictures like that, but I'm thinking a great camera certainly couldn't hurt!)

    thank you for the b-day wishes!@elesa: thank you so much! i get so flattered when people comment on my picture taking skills because i seriously got none! lol, i used a canon rebel xti. i don't really know much about photography but it's fun to play with it once in awhile. 🙂
