Just about four years ago we brought you home from the hospital.
A few days ago we celebrated your fourth birthday.
I've learned so much about the world because of you. You've gone from being a bright-eyed little baby to somebody with a mind all her own. I love your sense of humour, the little jokes you make and the way you like to laugh about things. Your fearlessness going down the big slides is a source of pride to me. When you ask about giving half your birthday money to your brother, I envy your big heart. The fact that my kisses still make your scraped knees feel better melts my heart. Happy birthday to "daddy's little girl."

While I await the arrival of my neice . . . I happen upon this celebration of your daughter . . . her birth . . . her life of 4 years . . . and your words about that . . .
at 12:43am while I am celebrating with you I get THE phone call . . . so . . . I celebrate both birthdays . . . Deo Gratias!
Yesterday I said good-bye to my daughter. Oh how the time flies...I remember the days...
Cherish them...
sweet post! Seeing that new baby face made me anxious to see my own baby's face (due Nov 25th).
If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be exactly like yours! Spunky and smart! I have a great fondness for that daughter of yours!!
