Another year has come and gone. And it seems like just yesterday it was just Marc and I. On March 11, 2004 at 1:11pm, our second daughter, Lily Olivia, made her entrance into the world. I remember her labor as if it just happened yesterday. And the reason I remember was because it was my easiest labor ever. Now, don't get me wrong, all my labors so far have been easy. And even though her labor wasn't the shortest I've ever had (she was 4 hours from start to finish), she was my only labor without back labor. And it was FANTASTIC!!!! She just lights up our lives. And we couldn't imagine our family without our only blue-eyed girl! Lily has so much energy which she uses up in trying to make us laugh. She's got such a great sense of humor! She can run faster than any of her sisters, she's still learning to read (but it'll click soon with her), she's got a great smile and is very excited when she loses her teeth! Out of all my children, she was not my snuggler. But there are days when she'll just cuddle up next to us and we soak it up because it's such a few-and-far between event. She is a joy and I'm looking forward to seeing how she's going to grow in the next few years. I thank God for her.
She's grown so fast! She went from this...
to this....
to this...
and now this!
So, Happy Birthday, Lily! We love you so much!!!
