My dearest Mary Alice, you are sunshine. You are joy and excitement and feisty and fun!

You are a climber. You are a tumbler.

You’ve started talking and it is just precious.

You love to put on a show and sing for everyone.

You are such a perfect fit in the family. You make everyone smile and laugh.

You aren’t the littlest little anymore and I know you are going to be an amazing big sister.

I’m so glad God chose me to be your mom.
