As their love for one another swells, so, too, does my heart. 💓 #everleighandash (at Dundas, Ontario)

I spent much of my pregnancy worrying. How will I split my time when I'm in the throes of life with a newborn? How do I go from mom of one to mom of two? After almost six years as my only child, will she love him? Or will she resent him, seeing him only as an interruption to a life that has already seen too much change? Turns out none of these worries are really relevant. She has, once again, schooled me on the malleability of children. Not only is she able to roll with the punches, she often takes pleasure in doing so. Have there been growing pains? Without a doubt. Do I miss the time I used to have with her and the things we used to do? Absolutely. But then this happens, and I am humbled. She loves her brother. He's clearly a gift in her eyes, and not a burden. And this relationship -- one that is gaining strength by the week -- actually has nothing to do with me. ❤️#everleighandash #siblinglove

My children smell like fresh air and cookies. I could breathe them in all day. #mykindofheaven #everleighandash #asherelias #everleighrose

Just like that, the holidays are over. At the same time, it's amazing what can change over the course of a few weeks. Like your entire life, for example. This is what my life looks like now, and I've never been more blessed. #everleighandash #everleighrose #asherelias #siblinglove #newborn #letthembelittle #1week
