Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby

You arrived in the pre-dawn hours of a cool, rainy early spring morning. As soon as you settled into my arms, you turned your little round cheeks towards me and promptly went back to sleep. Birth is hard work after all.


And now here we are one year later. I keep thinking . . . how can it be a year already? And then I immediately think . . . is it only one year since you came? That's how easily you slipped into our lives and became our baby.

We've lost track of time loving you. You might be our last baby girl, you might not. It doesn't matter, because you are you. And that is more than enough. Happy first birthday, Mopsy. We love you!

    Happy Birthday, our sweet little Mopsy! It has been a whirlwind year! It seems like last week that we were on the road to the hospital to get our first look at you. And what a beauty you are-the image of your mother...
    We love you baby girl. See you soon!
    Love, Gee Gee and Pop
