Dear Elsie,
We can't believe it has been 2 years since Amanda placed you in our arms. You have brought more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined! Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be a mother. I don't think I understood what that really meant. I slowly understand what it means to be a mother each day. Every day is an adventure with you. Everything is new to you. You learn and grow so much every day! You are the light of our lives. We are so grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing Amanda and blessing us and most of all for blessing you! You are more loved than you will ever imagine! There are so many people that love you! There are people that love you that you haven't even met yet. People that love you that you may never meet. I know your Heavenly Father loves you because of who you are. You are such an amazing little girl with so much life in you! You bring smiles to people everywhere you go! You are "medicine" to anyone that is sick. Your presence lights up any room, anywhere and everywhere you go.
You are so fun to be around. You are a very pleasant little girl. You love to interact with people of all ages. You are so social. We love to take you places. You are so good in public (except for when we try to make you hold still for too long at restaurants). Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for teaching us so much every day. Each day we are parents, we learn more about life. More about love. We can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together and get to learn and grow even more because of you. We hope we are the best parents to you! We only want the best for you, now and forever! We want you to know how special you are. You are a very special girl!!! We feel so lucky to get to be your parents! We will be forever grateful to Amanda for her selfless decision to place you for adoption. Amanda will always be close. She placed you for adoption because she loves you. We love you! Thank you for all you have taught us in your 2 short years. We look forward to MANY more together!!!! Happy Birthday Princess!!!!
Love, Mom and Dad
All About Us
10 years ago, a cute, small-town boy came and swept me off my feet! After 8 short months, we were sealed in the St. George LDS Temple July 11, 2002. It has been amazing ever since! People say the first year of marriage is the hardest. Not for us. I LOVE being married! Josh is my best friend!! I love spending every moment I can with him! We love to go on vacations, and spend time with our families and friends. We adopted our first baby girl February 23, 2010. She is the light of our lives and we will be forever grateful to Amanda for her selfless decision to bless our lives with our Sweet Baby Elsie!
