Somehow it happened...

I'm not so sure how it happened,

but it did somehow.

I remember the feeling

when I found you would be joining our family

I was secretly thrilled

and my heart stilled

as I thought about the heart and child

that God had place inside,

we would soon meet.

Nine months went so slow,

we were anxious, just so you know.

We had a picture of you, all so perfect,

And they were right!

Those blue-berry blue eyes,

mesmorized me as I looked into your eyes.

One heart wrapped in love formed by His hands

What an adventure you have been,

We watched you fight with all you had

to learn those things some do so easily

We prayed for you, celebrated your victories

We're so thankful for the laughter you bring,

you have an endless thirst for knowledge

adventure, books, and animals.

Our greatest thrill was

watching you accept Him

into your heart a few years ago.

From your first heartbeat, first breath,

first steps, first words...

You're going to have a lot of First in your life,

but I'm so glad that He is first in your life.

Happy 10th Birthday!
