Thank Heaven for Little Girls...

It's very hard for me to believe our baby girl is turning one tomorrow. In many ways it seems like just yesterday I was sitting in a hospital closet room holding our new daughter. She was perfect and immediately fit into our family.


Just realized that from day one she has been hugging her dad!

So happy!
Lily said, "Where's my brudder?"
(Inside joke--Jack says this every day when I pick him up from school)

This week one of our best friends delivered a beautiful girl and another found out they will be having a girl in the spring. I wish for them what we have been given from our daughter...joy, love and awe. Happy Birthday Lil. You are pure sweetness and I hope you always remain that way.

I never particularly thought much of this song until I heard it again recently. I guess it has new meaning now...

I can't believe sweet Lily is one year old already! She looked so much like Jack when she was first born. I hope you guys have a wonderful day tomorrow, celebrating the moment you were blessed with your beautiful little daughter. Give her a big birthday kiss from the Daniels family.
