Happy 7th Birthday Hayden!

Hayden,

Wow, 7 years ago today at 2:01pm my life changed in the most perfect way in the world.  I became a Mommy!  I was so excited to finally meet the little girl that kept kicking me, turning flips, and punching me.  Everything was going to be different but in an awesome way.  I will admit I was a little bit scared but once they placed you in my arms and I finally got to kiss your sweet face, I wasn't scared at all.  I knew exactly what to do...love you, protect you, kiss you, hold you, teach you, and always take care of you.  Your Daddy was so excited to meet you too.  He couldn't take his eyes off of you and he never left your side, even when they took you to the nursery.  You have had him wrapped around your little finger ever since.  You were the most beautiful baby in the world.  You were perfect, 6lbs 9oz and 19 inches long.  You were my little punkin!  I don't know why I picked that name but it seemed to fit and before long every body in the family was calling you that.   I would sing you a song about how you were my little punkin and you would just look at me and smile. 

You are growing up so fast.  It seems that every time I blink you are another year older.  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments and boy do you have a lot of them.  You are truly one amazing little girl.  You are a strong, determined, intelligent, caring, considerate, loving, shy, happy, athletic, beautiful, sweet and angelic little girl.  I always tell you to aim high and reach for those stars and you always do,  you are the brightest, shiniest star of all.  I can't even really put into words how proud we are or how much we love you. 

We are so lucky that we got to be your Mommy and Daddy.  We are so blessed in every way. WE LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK SWEET GIRL! 

Happy 7th Birthday Hayden Christine Stancil!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

I heard this lullaby and thought it was perfect for the way I felt about you sweet girl!

Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace

Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face

One sweet angel sleeping in my arms

You are the promise I knew God would keep

You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you'll never know how much I love you

But I'll keep on telling you my whole life through

Now I believe in miracles, and you're the reason why

So dream on while I sing you my angel's lullaby
