Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!

Kearyn Jaedance is ONE!

I cannot believe that a full year has gone by since the Lord brought you into our lives. We have done our very best to soak up each and every moment - even when times have been so incredibly hard. 

Your precious smile has kept us all going - a welcome distraction from the challenges we face. 

It has been a joy to watch your brothers discover the true meaning of what it means to be a "big  brother". They continually lay down their own will and desires for you - their baby sister. At one time these boys didn't know the meaning of being gentle but now they better not dare do anything to hurt you - accident or not - as they will surely face the wrath of the other two. 

I have watched your daddy turn from this rough-tough man to a pile of goo for his baby girl. You still look so small when he holds you in his arms. And he even puts bows in your hair. 

You have changed me as well. I once thought I could only be a "boys mom" and you have shown me that I have what it takes to be a mom to you as well. You have given me that much more to live for and that much more to keep fighting for. There have been so many nights when I have just sat and stared at your precious face and that has given me the strength I have needed to press on, to fight the good fight, and to never give up. 

There are so many things about this first year that you will never know and thankfully will never remember. But you will know the love that you have been so abundantly given by so many. That you will carry with you for a lifetime. 

Thank you baby girl for being you. 


Thank you God for giving her to us. She has truly changed our lives forever. I cannot imagine living life without her.
