Happy 3rd Birthday, Sweetheart!

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you,
pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Three years ago today when I saw your face for the very first time,
I could hardly believe you were mine.

This morning as I stare at you sleeping next to me,
I am amazed that I feel exactly the same way.

I dreamed about you my whole life and some days
I wondered if you would ever really be more than a dream.

You have made each and every one
of these 1095 days the very best days of my life.
(even the ones when I told you that you drove me crazy!)

You captivate and charm everyone you meet and
although you are so very beautiful;
that physical beauty itself pales in comparison
to the incredible person
I see emerging from within you.

I hope you will one day realize how truly honored I am to be your mother
and to follow you on this incredible journey ahead of you called:
LIFE.
Thank you for making all my dreams come true.

Happy 3rd Birthday, my Darling.

You have my heart.
Mama

    She is very, very beautiful! And very blessed to have a family such as yours. Your love is abundant for your babies. I love that.

    Three was a harder year for us than 2. You know how everyone always says 'terrible twos?' well, three was the year for us that was CRAZINESS! I miss those days of being little though. Oh, how I miss it.

    Happy Birthday Sweetie! Such a beautiful mix of your mother and father.

    Your beauty is undeniable weather viewed from your adoring mama's lens or through her vibrant words.

    This is a family created in love.
