HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA!



Bella turned 5 yesterday! I am kind of emotional to think that my baby is so grown up! She is as beautiful as ever and I am so proud to be her mommy. I was so excited to have her...We were playing baseball and I was alone a lot of the time while McKay was traveling. I couldn't wait to have a permanent little friend - one that couldn't get traded! :) I look back on the whole labor and delivery experience and am not surprised that she came into this world with a bang (Quick Labor, Natural Delivery, with Daddy arriving just a few hours earlier from his road trip.) She has kept life exciting every moment since. It didn't matter that we were in Virginia - living in a tiny apartment in downtown Norfolk on a team where I had so few friends, Bella lit up our lives and became a huge source of light and happiness. I have loved watching her little personality develop. I am so proud of her sweetness and get the biggest kick out of her sassiness (most of the time anyway.) She is such a performer - constantly putting on "shows" and dancing even when no one is watching. She loves to sing and make believe. She has a tender heart and is such a good big sister to Cole. Her giggle makes me smile and her cuddles melt my heart. She is smart as a whip - more often smarter than I give her credit for... She is an angel. My little best friend and forever baby girl - no matter how big she gets!
Happy Birthday Punkie! Mommy loves you!

I am so glad you have a blog. I really wanted to see your kids. Your family should be on the cover of a magazine. Your family is so beautiful. We don't see enough of each other your kids are so big. We seriously, need to get together.
Love, Jamie
