Happy Birthday Ainsley!!
Nine years ago, on our second wedding anniversary, we arrived at the hospital in Nashville at 7:30am.. Our new daughter was in no hurry to make her entrance that day. But when she did at 7:51pm weighing in at 6 pounds 12 ounces on 6/12/01 we knew our lives would never be the same... We had no idea how much we could love one little girl...When I look back I think of how in-experienced Jeff and I were... We didn't even keep her in our hospital room out of fear that she would stop breathing... I remember waking up at 1:00am the next night and walking down to the nursery to stare at her... This beautiful, petite, fragile child that God had called me to parent... What a blessing, and what a humbling lesson it has been to be her Mom. A privilege and an awesome responsibility to love, teach, train and someday let go...
Ainsley is growing up to be as beautiful on the inside as God has made her on the outside. She has a carefree way about her. She is loving and funny, and charming too.. In many ways a blend of two people I know... But, God has made her unique in so many ways... Ways that I admire... Characteristics that make her a great friend, a loyal sister, and a loving daughter.
For now, she will continue to brighten up our world, drive us crazy, make us laugh, and teach us about what is really important! She will forever keep us young, and challenge us to be better people, and better parents.
We are so thankful for our precious Pearl, and we look forward to celebrating her special day! Happy Birthday Ainsley! We love you!
