Happy Birthday Sprite!



"I knew you before you were born!"

And I did too.

I had a dream shortly before you were born and I could see every detail of your face-your dark hair and your deep dark eyes. You were the spitting image of your Daddy.

And you were too.

The moment I held you in my arms and starred into those deep dark eyes and saw that headful of dark hair, I saw the face from my dream and I knew that my dream had come true.

The last two years has been an amazing journey- a paradox of parenthood- both trying and fulling, filled with ups and downs, smiles and tears, moments of strength and moments of weakness. I have grown as a person and a mother from sharing these years with you.

You are an amazing little girl and I am proud to be your Mommy. You are my mischief maker, my strong-willed warrior, my sweet and silly sunshine, my rough and tumble tomboy, my sassy screaming spitfire, my cute compassionate cuddlebug, my brown-eyed beauty...

And this is "my wish" for you...

I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

More then anything, more then anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more then you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. (Rascal Flatts)

Happy Birthday Sprite!
I Love You...
To the moon and back!
