Two blessings in one day

Five years ago today Mark and I were blessed twice in one day!  The first blessing was Hayden was finally getting much better and ready to come home from the hospital.  The second blessing was the birth of our 2nd little angel, Gracie Leigh. Gracie was the most patient baby ever. It was so hard being in two different places when I wanted to be with both of my babies, but we had lots of help from our wonderful family. We are so very, very blessed and so thankful for our precious angels!


Dear Gracie,

Today you are 5 years old, a whole hand. I just can't believe it.  It seems like I just held you for the first time and then I blinked and it is 5 years later. You came into the world happy and smiling and that is exactly how you are now. You have the most beautiful smile in the world, we call it the million dollar smile. Words cannot even begin to describe how much we love you... You are beautiful, intelligent, caring, excited, determined, loving,  prissy, independent, perfect and sometimes assertive little girl. We love each and every one of these things about you.  You started big girl school this year and I can already see so many good changes in you, just in a couple of weeks. You are shy, but you are starting to come out of your shell. You definitely don't like to be the center of attention but that is okay.  You are one amazing little angel. You reach high and aim for the stars baby.   We are so blessed and lucky to get to be your Mommy and Daddy.

We love you to the moon and back angel! Actually we love you infinity!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
