Barrett and I were able to write a letter to AR and read it to her during our time that night. Even though she had no idea what we were talking about we enjoyed sitting down together and thinking of all of the things we want for her in life. ( and thank you to my sweet husband who read the letter out loud! Daddy speaks in front of crowds often. Mama would have been a nervous wreck!) 
During the time our pastor was talking he made a comment about how many weeks we have left with our littles at home. There were six children involved in the dedication last night. Each child has a jar of marbles at the end of the stage. The marbles represent the weeks we have left with our children at home. Every week we take a marble out of the jar and throw it in the trash. Once the week is over good or bad we will never have it back. Our jar is now sitting in our home with the letter we wrote at the very bottom of the jar. I think every week when we remove a marble I'll probably have a breakdown :( 
Right now I get to stay home with Addie Rivers. She goes to school three mornings a week. Some days we have great days and some days I get overwhelmed but at the end of each day I realize how lucky I am to get to be with her all day everyday. I get to see all of the sweet and funny things she says, I get to have dance parties at 8am, and some days I even get a good nap in :)
In May we will get to add another little to our bunch. I can't wait to be mommy to another. But right now I'm enjoying the days Addie Rivers and I have together because starting in May it will never just be mommy and Addie Rivers alone together everyday. Everyday she looks at my belly and says "hey baby, what doing? I change you diaper? Ok love you. Now a kiss!" I know she will be such an amazing big sister.
