This little toothless wonder is my baby girl. She is the light of my life. The source of most of my humor. The reason I give such good back rubs.

She has taught me to make up songs about any subject you can give me. She has taught me how to cry because I am so overwhelmed with how adoption has blessed my life. She has taught me to laugh because I never knew that such a tiny baby could poop out the top of her outfit and get it in her hair.

Her tender heart and soft smiles have brightened even my darkest days.

This is my favorite picture we have taken of her. It captures her personality. Her ability to be in the moment and to live and love life.

Kids can make you nuts. Kids can make you act like idiots. And... kids can keep your life alive and going when you want to crawl in bed and hide.

Remember April Fools is just around the corner. Time to think spring and plant some flowers.
