Happy Birthday Kristen

9 years ago today a miraculous event occurred in our life. The little girl we had been waiting to meet for nine months was finally born and placed into our arms. She was so sweet and precious and we were all absolutely enamored with her. Even the nurses were immediately taken by her. She was the only little girl in the nursery that day and they really spoiled her. They brushed her hair into one little curl on the top of her head and placed a tiny little bow in it. It was so cute, I left it there for a few days.

I am holding here only a few moments after she was born.



Here are the three men in her life, both of her grandpas and her daddy, doting on her already.



Here she is the day we brought her home from the hospital, bow and all.
