4 years!!

4 years ago today my life as I knew it changed. Drastically. Completely. 4 years ago today, 6 weeks before her due date, my baby girl entered this world bringing with her a huge surprise. Down syndrome. I think back to that day and feel the tears coming back, rivers of tears. Baby we have come a long way……..the tears I shed today are tears of pure joy, knowing that I have been blessed by the most amazing little girl that I know, my Ella Grace.

I love this little girl, everything about her, everything that makes her who she is.

Happy, happy birthday baby girl. I cannot believe that you are 4 years old. I enjoy every single minute that I am blessed to spend with you, you are simply amazing. I am so very proud to be your mom!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA GRACE!!!!!!!! I can't believe you are a big 4 year old now! Tell your mommy to watch out - so far (and we only have about 6 weeks of experience with a 4 year old) it seems to be a "sassy" age :) hope you have the best day ever!!!

Happy Birthday, Ella Grace!!! Where did the time go? How can these girls be so grown up?!?

(Oh, and Kacey, I found my packages recently that were meant to be sent LONG ago and never got shipped! So today they're headed to you, the bows. Little happy birthday gift, I guess. :o) My apologies!!)
