5

Right about this time 5 years ago, I was packing up and heading to the hospital.  By some grace of God, I began natural labor the day I was scheduled to be induced.  My little bundle of joy was 10 days overdue. (Foreshadowing of her future personality, definitely!)   After several hours of labor and waiting and more labor, Little V entered the world at 12:53 a.m. on March 13th.  That was the moment everything in our lives changed...

So hard to believe that our little baby burrito is about to turn 5.  She is filled with curiosity and wonder, humor and thoughtfulness, creativity and spunk.  She is such an incredible little person that it is really hard to remember what our lives were like before she was the center of our universe.  We are blessed.  She is an incredible kid and she surprises us everyday.  I am equally torn between not wanting her to get any older and eager anticipation to see the person she will become.

Happy 5th Birthday, Little V.  I hope you never lose your wild sparkle.
