Happy Birthday Dear Emily!!!

Before you were conceived, I wanted you.
Before you were born, I loved you.
Before you were here an hour, I would die for you.
This is the power of love.

It's so hard to believe that Emily has been with us for two years already! It seems like only yesterday, we were taking her home from the hospital and embarking on a new phase in our journey as a family. I can't even remember what it was like to not have her in our lives. We are so very grateful to have been given charge of this unique and loving little girl and we pray that we are able to nurture her and love her so that she grows up knowing how truly special she is.

Coming home - November 2005
