Remember

Do you Remember?

Yes I remember her first Kick. Her First heard Heartbeat. Her first opening of the her eyes. Her first day to Camp (MLCC). Her first step November 2. Her first day at Preschool. Her first field day. Her firsts. And now we are only days away from giving her away for another young man who captivated her heart to take her.

Firsts. Wonderful. Beautiful.
