<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Claire Brooklyn,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">You’ve
done a lot of growing up this year. You’re leaving the shell of your toddler
years behind and you’re headed straight into kid territory. It’s kind of
terrifying and exciting all at once.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As
a mom, there’s this small side of me tangled up in emotions about the reality
that most of your life lived so far you’ll never remember when you’re my age.
And that’s kind of sad when I think about it. All the cuddles we’ve shared and
giggles we’ve delighted in, you won’t remember when you’re older. Some of the
best moments of my life shared with you, won’t really be a part of your
memories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank goodness for
SCRAPBOOKS!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
asked you what five felt like. You thought a moment and said, “it feels like
four.” Congratulations. You’ve discovered the meaning of life about 30 years
early.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I
asked you what wish you want to make this year that’s not a present. You said
you wish that everyone in the world loves each other as much as they love their
kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wise beyond your years my little
princess!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My Birthday wishes for you…</span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">
you remain the loving, honest, funny, wise, kind, compassionate person of
integrity that you miraculously are today. I wish you remain the person with
the strong moral compass who tells me solemnly when someone cuts in line.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">
you remain the person who sobs uncontrollably when you think you have done
something bad, not because you think you have disappointed us (or because I
want you to cry), but because I think in your heart you know when you
disappoint yourself.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">
you remain the person who dances when the music stops, sings your own lyrics,
and makes up your own 18 syllable words. I wish you remain the person who
thinks every movie she sees is the very best one ever made. (It does make it a
lot easy to find something to watch on a Saturday night.)</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">
you remain the person who takes care of your dolls as if it really, really
matters.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> you remain the person not
afraid to one-up your dad with silly jokes.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I wish </span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">you
continue to hug with your entire body.</span><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wish</span></b><span style="font-family: "Copperplate Gothic Light","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> you never stop kissing me
on the lips, even when your brother makes a face.</span><br />

fifth birthday my sweet girl. You make me whole in so many ways. Who knew a heart could

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">As another birthday draws near another birthday letter is in order..... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Dear Conner,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Today, you my son turn nine and I want you to
know that I am oh so happy to be your mommy. I need to say mommy, because
of course these days you insist on calling me Mom. It’s your way of
showing how you are growing up and becoming BIG. Although I act like it
is not okay with me, it really is. I want you to grow up, and I want you
to become the amazing man that I know you will.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Nine is hard for me. It’s one birthday
away from double digits and it’s almost like a half-way mark of my parenting.
Yes, of course I’ll always be your mom and hopefully you’ll always need
me for something. I do know that in nine more years you’ll be 18, and that my
son is when you will be BIG.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The past nine years have been my favorite
years ever. You were the child that brought your dad and I into
parenthood. You started this whole Taylor clan off to a great start.
You have become a big brother two times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When you are feeling like it, you are a great
help to your sisters. You show them things, and help them with things
that little 4 and 7 year old girls need help with. When you are feeling
like it, you keep your sisters in line and include everyone to play your games.
You are growing into a leader, and I pray that God will continue to mold
you into that role as biggest brother. They all look up to you, and
that’s a big deal. Remember that as you make choices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the next nine years you will change
drastically. You will grow hair in places you never thought you would.
Your voice will crack and you’ll get embarrassed. You’ll have good
days, and you’ll have bad days. You will start to look at girls in a new
light and I’m fairly confident that one will break your heart. (Lord help me
AND her when that day comes!!!) You will not want tell me things. You
will go on a trip with your dad and he will tell you all you need to know about
being a man. You will pick a college. You will cram for tests.
You will then leave me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">To say that my heart is not ready for the day
you leave for college is an understatement. I know I have nine more years
before that happen, but these nine years have literally flown by. It
seems like just yesterday we found out we were pregnant, having a boy, and then
you made your grand entrance into the world two and a half weeks early.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Thank you for letting me love you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want you to know that I love you, will
fight for you, and will always be here for you. Even when you go to
college and fall in love and replace me with the girl of your dreams. I
know my place will change, and another woman will hold your heart, but know
that I will always love you and 9 years into being your mommy I’m super proud

We celebrated x2 this year! On Saturday she had some close friends celebrate with her at NTouch Massage with a "Spa Day"! The girls were greeted with a robe to put on and then everyone got a mani, pedi, and a facial. The girls had SOOOO much fun! After it was over the other Mommies and I decided we wanted to have our birthday party there too!<br />

On Sunday we celebrated with our Family! Kennedy was so excited to get her very own TV for her room and her Vera Bradley bag. I guess my little lady is growing up....she wanted a Vera bag just like the "big girls" to carry to school. Thanks so much to Grancy for getting her the American Girl Doll of the year, Saige! She has been on Kennedy's wish list since she was released!!!!<br />

My Precious Kennedy Grace,<br />
<br />
It's that time of the year again. <br />
<br />
The time of the year when I reflect on how fast time really does fly. The
time of the year when I try not to think of all the things I've probably done
wrong as we journey through parenthood together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's the time of the year when we celebrate
the day you came into our lives and changed everything for the better.<br />
You <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are seven and I know in just a
few short years you will be a teenager and I will feel like I just blinked
again and POOF! you're grown. But please know this Kennedy, of all the
things I hold dear, more than the shiny things you love to admire in my jewelry
box, more than anything I possess, I treasure these small moments that turn
into days that turn into years and ultimately memories. They are my
treasures and I am so thankful that you were added to our lives.<br />
Everything about you is BIG – your personality, your vocabulary, your
creativity, and sometimes your temper, but that’s ok, we’re working on that,
along with making my patience, well, bigger too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another thing that is BIG is your heart. You
are so full of kindness and generosity; it is a joy to see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are full of quirky, too. Of course,
stripes go with stripes, and polka dots go with stripes; and yes, it’s
perfectly sensible in your world to require that a top have ALL the colors
found in the stripy leggings and yes the glittery headbands must match too. I
love how everything must go and yet nothing goes together in your world. And of
COURSE, everyone needs a glittery headband to step out of the house and sequins
are NOT just for birthday parties!<br />
You are very much an independent little lady but still need your Momma when
things don’t go your way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pray that
this is the same when you are twenty three and forty three; that you can come
home, put your head on my shoulder and cry when things are not going your way.
Though I know you will be able to cope on your own, I pray that you
remember that home is always here. For as long as you want it.<br />
I will wish that I could offer you something as sure as a princess band-aid
or our cheek to cheek snuggle to fix all of your heartaches in your future.
Although I may not always have that perfect motherly fix to all of your
problems as I seem to do now ,I want you to know I will ALWAYS here and will ALWAYS be your
BIGGEST fan in this journey we travel through together as mother and daughter.<br />
Happy Birthday Princess!<br />
Love,<br />
MommyBrooke Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776700039642657342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010741418681214050.post-70196440067956623002013-02-22T06:33:00.001-08:002013-02-22T06:33:30.848-08:00Kennedy's 7th Birthday: The InvitesI have had one VERY excited six year old (old most 7 year old) around my
house the past few weeks! Kennedy is counting down the days until her
SPA PARTY! We created some really fun invites together, the more
glitter the better according to Kennedy!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L4YAQnyiIoY/USeANaQPC1I/AAAAAAAABWs/qTJ3nhvkgQw/s1600/DSC_0022%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L4YAQnyiIoY/USeANaQPC1I/AAAAAAAABWs/qTJ3nhvkgQw/s320/DSC_0022%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Although it was VERY hard for her to narrow the invite list to just a few close friends we finally compiled her list and mailed them out....now we just wait!!! In the meantime we have been working on some pretty cute favors (pictures to come, we don't want to spoil the surprise for our guest). We can't wait to share our SPA PARTY ideas!Brooke Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776700039642657342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010741418681214050.post-30227662432774157142013-02-02T07:55:00.001-08:002013-02-02T07:55:51.056-08:00Taylor Christmas 2012<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I had one excited little boy (and one excited Daddy) on my hands a few weeks ago when Conner killed his first deer! I am so glad my Conner enjoys the outdoors as much as his Daddy. As I am typing this he is on a hunting trip with his Dad so I am sure there will be more pictures and memories to document to come....<br /><br />Brooke Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776700039642657342noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010741418681214050.post-80743477174337501062012-10-14T07:37:00.002-07:002012-10-14T07:37:57.247-07:00Jackson's Orchard<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Say CHEESE!!! We traveled to Bowling Green this past weekend and spent the day at Jackson's Orchard. The kids (and Mom and Dad too) had such a fun day! We look forward to our family trip to the pumpkin patch every year. Last year we did not make it down to Jackson's and went to a local patch...We were DEFINITELY disappointed ...just not the same. It is WELL worth the trip!!!<br />

<br />
As I mentioned in my previous post..IT IS PARTY CENTRAL at the Taylor House right now. I have one VERY excited 3 ALMOST 4 year old on my hands. We can't wait till our big DONUT party to celebrate with all of our friends and family! Of course another birthday means yet another birthday letter.....My hope is to capture EXACTLY how I feel at this special time in my life and capture my feelings on paper for each of my kids to read some day when they get older. Yes, I tell my kids EVERY day how much they mean to me and how special they are but I NEVER what them to forget or doubt my feelings no matter how many parenting mistakes I make, and believe me I make a bunch....I hope my children always know that they mean the world to me and I am so happy to be their Mommy, BEYOND BLESSED!<br />

<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">My sweet
girl,</span></i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Today,
you turn 4. Four years old! My goodness!! People always
say that your kids grow up too quickly, and while I feel as though I’ve been
embracing our moments together from the beginning, it’s hard to believe that
you first made your appearance 4 years ago. But, at the same time, I can
barely remember my days before you. Where did I put all of this love that
is now yours? You have filled my heart so full, Claire, and you are a
part of us that cannot be reversed. I often marvel at how the Lord
orchestrates things. If your Daddy and I had not fallen in love, you
wouldn’t have come into existence. It is a great example for seeking
God’s will and being faithful and following it. Trusting Him and
following. Oh sweet girl, what a responsibility it is, to guide you
through life and to pray that we do things well. I pray that your little
heart finds God at a young age. There will be difficulties in this world,
but I pray that your Daddy and I can help you to become a girl and then a woman
who faces trials with the understanding that you are not alone and that this
life is only the beginning…</span></i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">My, how
I love spending this life with you by my side. I think I stop about 50
times a day to just marvel at you, because you never cease to amaze me.
You are smart, you are sweet, you are so gentle (except when it comes to bugs,
you squash them like you’re a teenage boy), you are so cuddly. You love
to spend quality time together. Yesterday, I overheard you outside on the
porch with your Dad. I could picture you swinging your little feet as you
scooted a little closer to him. I heard you say “so, what should we talk
about”? My heart gets more and fuller whenever I hear such sweet things coming
from your lips, which is a frequent occurrence. You’re so bright. You
pick up on things so quickly. That’s your Daddy in you. You have
your Dad’s brains for sure, and I’m pretty sure that you inherited his sense of
adventure. You also love to be outdoors which is just another thing that
I love about you.</span></i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">You get
stopped constantly when we’re in public, because of your big brown eyes and
that curly hair of yours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have such
an innocent and pure nature, that I’m not too worried about you getting a big
head. I’m just so proud that you’re mine. You’ve got so much going
for you little Claire. You, my dear, I know will be something great
throughout your life. I’m not talking about occupation, you could be
anything, and that’s not what’s important to me. Whatever you do, I know
you will be a light and a blessing to those around you. It’s in your
nature; it’s how God created you. Oh sweet girl, I’m so proud of all that
you already are. And, I promise you that I will do all that I can to
teach you and guide you and love you well.</span></i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">You are
my light, baby girl. You’re growing up. But somehow, everyday, I
seem to love you more. Here’s to your life; celebrating the past four
years and looking forward to all that lies ahead for you. I’m so glad
that your Daddy and I get to call you our own. Happy Birthday, baby girl!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">I Love
You Always and Forever Claire Bear!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;">Mommy</span></i><span style="font-family: "BernhardFashion BT"; font-size: 18.0pt;"></span><br />

What a WONDERFUL party we had to celebrate Conner's 8th Birthday! We roasted hotdogs, marshmallows, made s'mores, had a scavenger hunt, made ice cream in a bag, got our faces painted, had caricature art made of ourselves and then ended with a sleepover!!! Whewww I am tired just thinking of all the FUN we had! We are so blessed to have great friends to celebrate with! Can't wait till the next Taylor Party...but thankful the next birthday is not until October when we celebrate Claire Bear's 4th Birthday! I need a little time to recuperate!Brooke Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776700039642657342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010741418681214050.post-61928358491176535542012-04-29T14:09:00.004-07:002012-10-19T12:20:54.077-07:00Party Time....AGAIN!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Scott,</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">My
sweet first-born child you made me a mother when I honestly had no idea what I
was doing. It was with you that I dipped my toes into motherhood always testing
the water unsure if I was harming you or helping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I should have started this letter last year,
right after I finished your 7<sup>th</sup> Birthday letter. I could fill up an
entire book with my hopes for you and my pride in you. I hope someday you have
a son, only then will you understand how much love I feel for you, how proud of
you I am. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How is it possible that every
day I love you even more?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> It’s true,
Conner. You are an amazing blessing to me and those around you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your heart continues to grow by leaps and
bounds. You have such a giving heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The older you get, the more and more I love
you. Every<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><img alt="Remove Formatting from selection" height="1" src="file:///C:/Users/Taylor/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif" width="1" /></span>day,
when I think it's just not possible; I wake up and realize that I love you even
more than the previous day. You have been a true blessing in my life, a
wonderful gift from God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could never thank Him enough for picking me,
out of all the Mommies in the world, to be yours.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">This
year I have<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>witnessed you grow into your
role as a big brother with so much love, compassion, patience and yes,
enthusiasm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> Again, there are no
words to describe how joyful it makes my heart to see you and your sisters
playing together. To see the patience you have with them (sometimes) and
how you love teaching them, it makes my cup runneth over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know you love your sisters even though they
bother you, copy you, and chase after you too much. They love you back
more than you know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as I am
blessed to be your mother, Kennedy and Claire are blessed to have you as their
big brother!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope all three of you nurture and grow your
friendship for the rest of your lives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">I
know I don’t always get it right, and sometimes I blame you when it was Kennedy
or Claire’s fault. I yell too much and talk too much when I should just
be quiet and listen. My standards for your behavior may be too high and I
often fuss at you for not being quiet or behaving when you are just being a
kid. I am easily frustrated and sometimes short tempered, especially when I
hear a hint of whine. I’m working on it. Some days I get it right,
others I fall way too short of the mark, but despite my shortcomings as a
person and as your Mom, I hope you never spend one day of your life ever
doubting my love for you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">As
you embark on the next year of your life I hope that you will never forget that
you are indeed loved for exactly who you are right now and for the young man
you are growing into. As I say often in our house, we are your family and
you will always be loved no matter what. This is the soft place you can
land where you will always be OK, you will always be welcome and you will
always be loved — no matter what. You are one of the most unique and
amazing individuals I have ever met and my love for you is unconditional,
forever, and always.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will close my annual birthday letter to you
by telling you something you already know, but think it’s important to say
anyway. I can’t imagine my life without you, Conner Scott. I love you
more than all the stars in the sky!</span></div>

On Thursday we sent our Teacher treats to school. We are so LUCKY to have such wonderful people in our kiddos lives. We can't say thank you enough for all they do so every time we get a chance we love to do something special for them. We personalized green water bottles for them, put packets of peach tea inside and added a tag that said "Happy St. Pat TEA'S Day!" The kids were so excited to take them!<br />
<br />
On St. Patrick's Day the kiddos woke to a wonderful surprise...the Little Leprechaun had visited the Taylor house leaving behind lots of GREEN treats and chocolate gold. He even left Lucky Charms for Conner, Kennedy and Claire to have for breakfast. We ended our St. Patty's day with a homemade rainbow cake. The kids had so much fun making it and were so excited to cut into it and see the RAINBOW! <br />

<br />
<br />
Ok I lied...the next event up at the Taylor house is Conner's First Communion! We had to move Conner's birthday party out a week or two due to all that is happening in our lives, 3 in baseball/softball and First Communion. It has been a little hard for me to plan Conner's First Communion Celebration without making it to "girly" as Conner would say. After searching blog world I came across the little Gentleman theme and ran with it.... I LOVE how the invites turned out! I can't wait to share with you the rest of the details!!! We are so very proud of our Little Gentleman making such a important sacrament in his life!!!!<br />

Things are very busy around the Taylor house as we prepare for Kennedy and Conner's Birthday's and Conner's First Communion! Invitations are finally ready to be mailed for the first event: Kennedy's 6th Birthday Party! She is soooo excited to be having her bowling party at the bowling alley. We can't wait to share all the other party details but that will have to wait until after the big day...we don't want to spoil any surprises! (oh and in case you were wondering the broken arm has NOT slowed her down one bit!!!!)Brooke Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12776700039642657342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6010741418681214050.post-54526776717973578082012-02-11T17:44:00.000-08:002012-02-11T17:44:50.584-08:00Kennedy's BIG break!My heart was pounding when I got the call that my sweet Kennedy had had a fall on the playground on Thursday! I raced to her school ( think I made it there in like 5 minutes) to find my little girl calm as can be with a smile on her face and a makeshift magazine splint in place on her left arm. <br />

<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">My
precious Kennedy Grace,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">I can hardly believe
that six glorious years have already gone by since the day I first held you in
my arms! These past six years seem to have gone by like the blink of an
eye. You've gone from a newborn baby cradled in my arms to an independent
young lady. When I recall the momentous
day you were born, I became the happiest mother on earth. Your Daddy and I
marveled at the angel kisses on your cheeks, your tiny, wrinkled fingers and
your intense eyes. I'm not embarrassed to admit it, but I cried, deep
tears of joy, buckets of tears. All my life the one thing I always knew was I
wanted to be a mother. Other than that I was often rudderless, trying to
navigate the ocean of life and figure out what my path in life was to be.
I never wavered in my hope to be a mother. When you were born you gave me
the experience of a lifetime. One of the three greatest experiences in my
life that hold the deepest most treasured place in my heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">When it comes to the
people who have influenced my life the most I would declare, without a moment's
hesitation, that you are at the very top of my list. You have profoundly
affected who I am today. Being a mother grounded me, gave me a purpose
and set my life's course. It became more important than ever for me to
discover <i><span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">my own</span></i>
potential, to realize <i><span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif";">my
own</span></i> talents, in order to show you by example how I want you to live
your life, and for that I thank you.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You are the girliest of girly girls.
You LOVE pink and princesses. You are dressed up in princess gowns and high heel
shoes 90% of the time. You love to dance. You love to sing, although, if that's
the profession you're hoping to embark on, we just might need to get you some
lessons! I love the way that you could
care less what you sound like or what you look like. You can have the most
ridiculous outfit on and be dancing your heart out without even an ounce of
rhythm, and you'll stop and look up at me and say, "Mom, God sure made me
beautiful, didn't He!" Yes, my sweet girl, He sure did! I pray
with all my heart that that's the way your heart will always be. I pray that
you will never forget that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Sweet
girl, I love the thousands of ways that the Lord has blessed me in giving me
you. I love the way your sparkly brown eyes light up a room, the way your joy
is so contagious. I hope you always know
how incredibly proud I am to be your Mommy!</span><span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">You'll
always be my beautiful baby girl with the angel kisses on her cheeks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I
LOVE YOU, my most precious six-year daughter!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I
love you always,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "CopprplGoth BT","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Mommy</span><br />
