How can 15 years fly by?

I know we hear the saying, "time fly's" but it really has.  15 years ago today, my little family of 3 grew to 4. Our amazing, adventurous, curious Hailey was born.  She came in at mach 10 speed with her hair on fire that is for sure.  She wasn't waiting for anyone, so the nurse in charge delivered her.  The doctor showed up later!!
I remember thinking about what life would be like with the addition of a second child.  I had all the same concerns any young parent has, about whether we would be able to love our second child as much as the first. The minute she entered our world, the answer was so clear! YES!! Words cannot express the joy she has brought to our family. It is so amazing how one little person can light up a room.  Her older sister Annie adored her from the moment she met her.  They continue to have a very close relationship and I pray it lasts their entire life.
Not only has she brought us great joy, but she is growing to be a lady of great character and conviction and more than any other prayer that we prayed, this one had been our greatest desire for Hailey.  It has been so much fun to watch her grow physically but more importantly, spiritually.  She has a natural desire to learn and research. Looking for the answers to the questions that she comes up with.  We feel so blessed that God in his infinite wisdom chose to place Hailey in our family. I am in awe of God and how he thought so highly of us to give us such an amazing gift. Dave and I will continue to take care of our gift (all three) to the best of our ability.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAILEY!!!
