Pretty Baby Flower



Absolutely nothing is sweeter or cuter than a toothy baby smile + jammies She has a new funny face + smile every time I get to see her.
One year ago this past March, we met Amélie for the very first time. The pictures I have of the babies  together seems like a lifetime ago. Pea still had a round baby face + Amé was very much a baby. We knew then the chances for her family moving were high, but we didn't know it would go by/happen so fast. She moved going on four months ago but it hurts just the same as if we just said goodbye to her today. What did people do before Viber + FaceTime??? Telegrams??? Morse code?? Torture! Still, communication is hard enough as it is, but add some technology + I'm lost. I never know if I should send an iMessage or an email so it may as well be ancient times because I'm lost. 
 It seems every day that goes by is one more day that we don't get to hold her + play with her. It feels like we'll never get there. I feel like we have missed so much already + by the time we do see her, she'll be different. We are already almost half way through the year + I thought by now we would have a plan to be visiting soon. International flight prices are no joke. Planning for the future + living life is a delicate balance game that is never-ending. I am fortunate but can't I just have a jet to see my niece every month? Is that really too much to ask for in this life?
