.......Mae, oh Mae......she's three!.......
As mamas I think we can all agree that with every child comes growth, change and our hearts are burst wider, taller and deeper than they were just seconds before we placed our new baby on our bare skin......
.....today, my Mae is three......and I really must attribute the growth I have had in my walk with Christ the last few years to her......she is the baby that I prayed for before we were really even sure if we would be expanding our family.......and she is the one who reminds me every day that God is good and His love endures all things.......she is the one who taught me more about faith and hope than anyone else probably will in my lifetime......
.....the last three years have been fuller, more joyous, happier (and busier) than I ever thought possible.....it has been a gift to watch your siblings interact with you and you with them......
......you are the one who watches and takes everything all in so that you understand your surroundings.....and you never want to be left out......
.....you want inclusion in everything and you demand it.......it's one of the things I love most about you......you know what you want and you fight for it.....you cherish the times that our entire family is together and it makes sense because you completed us the day you were born.....
....each of my children are uniquely special to me for their own reasons, but today we celebrate Mae......joyful, bright, boundless, thoughtful, Mae.....and because of you, this family is complete.....
We love you to the moon and back, sweet Mae! Xx
