Lucille's 5th Birthday
Dear Lucille,
You have had such a beautiful year.
You have had so much fun in your preschool class with all of your friends and you have learned so much from Ms. Jess. Your favorite things in school are playing in Home Living with dolls and dress up clothes, Arts & Crafts, and Phonics Group Time.
You are so lucky to have so many girl friends in our neighborhood your age! You, Piper and all the girls have a blast bopping from house to house playing School, House and Wedding, building forts, and having sleepovers.
Your favorite color is still purple, and you still sleep with Blankie and Sheepie every night.
Your new favorite food is pickles and cream cheese!
You are the Wii Bowling Champion in our family, well besides Uncle Lance!
You are Spunky, and have the cutest Booty Dance in the world!
You are gentle, helpful, and you love to snuggle - you promised me that even when you are a grandma you will still watch movies and snuggle with me...you promised!
Happy Fifth Birthday Princess!
Love,
Mama

Am I Four Yet?
Good morning Lucille~Guess what?!?
Yes, you are finally four years old today!!!!!!
My sweet little baby is four...Lucille Susanne Stern, February 28, 2005, 2:47pm, 7lbs 12oz, 21"
Piper was only six months old when we discovered a new addition to the family was on the way. We were quite surprised, considering I thought I had some strange summer time flu! Needless to say, we were very excited - yeah - we're going to have another girl...sisters. Our sweet little family - growing together, teaching each other, passing on old and creating new traditions, taking family vacations, our dreams were endless.
Although I was familiar with pregnancy, labor and delivery, feedings, sleepless nights, etc. I wasn't prepared for the fact that the sheer weight of my love for you would reduce me to tears on a daily basis. I didn't know that it would seem like a new place had been created inside of me, just to hold this indescribable love.
As a newborn your favorite place to sleep was resting on my shoulder, kicked back in the old recliner. Which was kinda funny, because the recliner was the only place I could get any sleep while I was pregnant with you. I remember after a late night feeding, I was watching you sleep on my shoulder and thinking about how I loved your father so much and thought I could never feel a love as deep as the love I felt for him. When Piper came into our lives I felt a whole new kind of love. And now here in my arms is another precious miracle and God has shown me yet another kind of incredible love".
A mother's love is one of God's most special gifts. We know the gift is beautiful and amazing, but until we get the chance to open it up and try it on, we have no idea just how magnificent it truly is.
Lucille, are such a sweet, curious, spunky, smart, beautiful little girl!
You are filled with joyous liveliness and determination.
Morning snuggles with you and tickling your back (not your sides because that makes you giggle!) is you if the best way to start the day!
I love watching you play school and mommy with all of your kids and babies, you are so caring and thoughtful - it just makes my heart melt.
Thank you for taking this journey with me. You teach me so much about life, spirit, and love. They say having children gives meaning to life. It is true. Becoming a mom has opened my eyes to who am I, where I am going, and what's really important.
I love you Lucy, all the way to the moon...and back.
Love always,
Mama

Where did 1,826 days go...
Good Morning Piper...Happy 5th Birthday Sweetheart!
It's 6am and as I gently kiss your forehead and smell your hair, I wonder...where did 1,826 days go?
On January 13, 2004 an angel came into our lives at 9:12pm. 7 pounds 12 ounces, 21 inches long.
I remember bringing you home from the hospital, and after all the visitors were gone, I sat down next to your father. The two of us just sitting there gazing into your bassinet. I starting crying in his arms because I was so over-joyed and so scared. It felt like the first day of school. I was so excited to ride the bus for the first time, meet my teacher, make new friends. I was also very afraid of getting lost, missing my mommy and not having anyone to sit by me at lunch.
I also remember telling myself to relish the time we have together and not to get too caught up in the future...what will she be when she grows up...will she play high school sports or be a cheerleader...who will she be when she's five...
Even with all the hustle and bustle of life, I have indeed relished the last five years, and I can tell you~
You are the brightest, kindest, most thoughtful - most beautiful five year old I know.
You have your dad's wit and determination ~ my compassion and we have the same scrunched eye brows when we are frustrated.
The little songs you sing while playing with your dolls or coloring are the most beautiful words I've ever heard.
I also love the way your eyes sparkle and your nose crinkles when you giggle.
I am so greatful to have you in my life Piper Susanne. You have given me a new view of the world - of life. Through the wonder of your eyes, the world is more colorful. Music is louder and dancing is silly and freeing.
I thought that there was meaning in my life before you came along, but Hell if I even knew the meaning of meaning. For the majority of my life I thought I had religion, but never has there been a more reverent moment in my life than walking into your room late at night to watch you breathe, to hear your life in the air. ~Heather B. Armstrong
I thank God each night for blessing us with such a precious gift and pray for just one more day...just one more.
Love,Mama
PS. My favorite thing is being your mommy, and don't ever forget it!
