the sweetest of blessings...

Five years ago today at exactly 8:09 p.m. - five weeks early - we welcomed you, our firstborn, our sweet daughter that we had prayed for so much. There are still no words to describe the emotions I felt as they placed you in my arms...a tiny little baby with big, bright eyes...a long awaited promise from our Heavenly Father right before my eyes.

What a blessing you have been, my sweet Grace!
Five years ago you made me a mom - it was the best day of my life!

These five years have gone by so fast. Sometimes I want to hold you in my arms and hang tight praying time still. But I know this is just the beginning of the story. God has so much planned for your life and I can't wait to see it unfold, cheering you on every step of the way.

I love you my sweet little pumpkin. Always and forever.
Happy 5th Birthday!
Mama

  4. Thank you ladies for the super sweet comments!

    Olivia~ this dress was made by my dear friend Angel (tadacreations.blogspot.com). Her adorable embroidered apron dresses were the reason I learned to embroider in the first place!! She is no longer sewing for business, but she's uber talented and super sweet. Check out her blog - you'll love it!!

  5. My sweet Grace: I'll never forget the day you were born...and the first time I held you in my arms!
    Even in your first picture,barely minutes after coming into this world, your eyes were wide-open, looking...searching.You have grown into a sweet, beautiful, smart, inquisitive 5-years-old precious girl. I treasure all the time that I spend with you (and your little brother).May God bless you and guide your steps every day of your life. Happy Birthday to my special girl!
    All my love, always, Noonie
