Happy number 2 Megan Amanda!

Dear Megan,
I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone since I watched your brave mommy bring you into this world. It was one of the most beautiful and joyful moments of my life. It is hard to believe that you can love someone so much after seeing them for the first time, however we all loved you for 9 months before we saw you.

That day will be memorable for us all. I will never forget everyone in the room cheering on your mommy in the last moments before you made your entrance. We were all so excited, and your mommy was so remarkably strong and courageous during all the hard work it took her to get you here and for her to become your mother all in that incredibly miraculous moment.


I will never forget the adoring look of pri
de in your daddy's eyes as he saw you for the first time and tenderly touched your mommy's forehead with a kiss. They were now a family and they have loved you fiercely ever since that Monday afternoon, and always will.



I will never forget your Grandma's bea
ming face with the tears at the brim of her eyes as she watched her daughter bring new life into the world and become a mother herself. Someday that will be your mommy watching you!


I will never forget Auntie Kelly's look of awe and astonishment as she witnessed your birth. She was so excited, but couldn't decide if she really wanted to watch or not. But one thing was for sure, she could not wait to get her hands on you...just like the rest of us!


I will never forget being on the phone with Auntie Stacy giving her every update possible. She heard everyone encouraging your mom in the last minutes of her pregnancy. And of course she received a picture of your beautiful self on her cell phone just moments after your birth.

And then there was grandpa. I have never seen him as excited as he was on the day you joined our family. He just wanted to hold you and kiss you! He spent most of his time in the waiting room, until the last moments where he made his way down to the room and waited just outside the door for you to be here. I am sure he will never forget the moment your daddy walked you out to him so you could meet your papa. You have been the apple of his eye ever since.


Megan, my prayer for you is that you always know how loved you are and how special you are. God knew just what he was doing when He made you. His plans for you are prosperous and hopeful. I also pray that you know how truly blessed you are to have your mommy and daddy. They would do anything for you.

Thank you for all you add to our family, all the smiles and the tickles, all the laughs, the bounces, and the ring-around-the-rosies, the high-fives and pounds and especially for all those kisses! We cherish you sweet girl and our family would never be complete without you!
