My Dear Sweet Pea-
I say this every year, but I feel like time has been in fast forward. 3 years ago today I held you in my arms for the first time. 10 days late, but every minute worth the wait. I was in awe that this perfect little body came from ME - that I got to be able to be your mommy and spend time with you and teach you and watch you grow. It was a miracle. It is STILL a miracle every day. I still look at you - into those blue-green eyes and wonder how it is possible that you are my girl. Your growth this past year - in EVERY facet imaginable - has been astounding to me. My continued request is that you slow down a little so I don't miss anything. You are so bright - just this morning you told me that MY birthday is in March. How did you know that? You are so beautiful. The color of your hair is such a perfect mix of mine & daddy's. Your eyes are so honest and captivating. Your little body is so capable of anything. Your sweet spirit brightens and warms our home every day. My love, my awe, my gratitude for you grows every day. I love you McKinley. I hope not a single day goes by in your entire life that you don't feel my deep, heartfelt love for you.

So cute! That's awesome that you write them a letter each year. Keep it up!
What darling pictures of her. She is a beauty. I started the habit of writing Maren a letter for her birthdays, and I am going to put them in a book for her.
Heidi, what a precious letter! They will be a treasure as the years go by...
