I'm sleeping on the floor next to a puppy so that we can surprise you on Christmas Eve. And I'm so excited I can't go to sleep!

This Christmas you sing "Jingy Bells" loudly and joyfully. And it makes your mommy' heart melt.

Tonight you want to be held because your pitiful cough and snotty nose keep waking you up. You'll never know how thankful I am for the chance - the JOY, the privilege - to hold you and comfort you. Two years ago on this day, you were on a ventilator following emergency surgery for a midgut volvulus. God has big plans for you, little girl, and I am so grateful to be a part of your journey.

You are a chatterbox. Talking in full sentences. You lead our prayers! You echo what I say if the big girls get in trouble. You tattle. Singing with all your heart. Nonstop. It's adorable, and these are some of my current favorites...

No way!
