A Real Entry This Time

Ah, now as I promised, some new(ish) Nora Pics.
I took some on Valentine's Day in a cute little shawl she has. And one pic I took because she was eating and she fell asleep while I was feeding her. It was so cute. No real big news here though, just living life, getting sick a lot and hanging on for dear life until summer break.

One rant(or whatever you wanna call it): I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like just the other day we were bringing our sweet girl home from the hospital. I remember leaving the hospital and getting on the elevator with this other couple. She was pretty big, apparently she was getting checked out for something, but anyway, I thought it would be soon and she would be in the hospital with her brand new baby to take home. Then we got into our separate vehicles and this other couple rolled away listening to very loud rap/hip hop music. It made me wonder what kind of life this other baby would have.
We heard at a meeting in Iowa that our children are gifts, and how do we treat these gifts? It gave me a different perspective and a different sense of responsibility.
Well, I went off track there a bit, but even knowing that time goes so fast makes me wonder if the time that I do get to spend with my girl is time "well spent."
It will be so soon and she will be a year old. Our friends were just saying that they have already spent 5% of their time with their daughter in her first year, if you figure they stay until they're 20...that's a crazy thought.

Ok, well for some reason I can't post images. I'll post this and try again.
