Sixth.

It was the summer before my freshmen year of college when I found out that there was a special something going on in her mommy's belly.  As I went through my freshmen year of college, I anxiously awaited the arrival of this little bug.  Then, on April 28th, sister girl arrived.


As she went through the first year(s) of life, Audrey Elizabeth had the greatest baby mohawk I've ever seen in my life.  During bathtime, I loved making bug's hair into the most perfect mohawk.  Though I'm thankful for her beautiful brown locks now, sometimes I miss being able to style stink bug's hair like that.

On her first birthday, buggy got into her cake like I've never seen a baby do in my life.  I was so proud of sister bug as she dug in without fear...just like she continues to do now.


To my Audrey,
Today, you are you six years old.  I cannot believe it has already been six years since I praised God and smiled my face off as you joined our world.  You make me laugh all the time and I am continuously amazed by how stubborn you are.  You love trying to be sneaky, swim lessons, and running home from school as fast as you can.  I love that you allow me to share in your life and I'm thankful to be a part of yours.  You're beautiful...never forget that.  Love you with all I have.
