15 years old bonus

You are one of the most mature young ladies I know.
You are a superb athlete.
You are creative and artistic.
You love Jesus. A lot.

You are competitive.
You are an excellent student.
You love chapstick. :)
You are super smart.
You love to read.
You are adventurous.
You have a heart of gold.

You are 15 years old.

You have been a part of my life for 3 1/2 years. I call you my "bonus daughter" because you are just that. A super duper bonus. An undeserving gift.

15 years old and you are already making a mark on this world.
I'm looking forward to seeing what the next 15 hold for you.

I love you lots and lots,
Renee

On your 7th birthday

Last night we snuggled before you drifted off to sleep and I was thankful for the complete darkness that surrounded us. As I softly played with your blond curls, warm tears ran down my cheeks.

You see... I won't be laying next to another 6 year old boy again. This morning marked your 7th birthday.
7 Years ago we welcomed you into this world.
7 years ago I became a mom to two little boys.
7 years ago you became the baby and your brother the eldest.

You.

I wouldn't change anything about you. You keep us on our toes. You are passionate about everything. Your imagination matches your wild locks of hair. You have a tender heart for those suffering. Your snuggles are never ending. Right now you want to live with me forever. You, me, B and your wife. It'll be pretty cool I think. You say you want me to join you in college. We'll be roomies. You want us to skydive on your 18th birthday. You love baseball. You are still super shy when you are around new people.

You.

I wouldn't change anything about you.

Happy birthday my sweet Monkey boy. Love, Momma
