Hindsight #2:
Celebrate every tiny achievement. I’ve got three small kids and what I have learned is that you can never go back. Embrace the NOW! You need to celebrate every imaginable achievement. First haircut, first steps, first poopie, first teeth, first full nights sleep, first words, first everything. The Church world is no different. Look for reason’s to celebrate. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Remember, you are experiencing things that you will never get to experience again. Take lots of pictures as well.
