Happy 5th Birthday, Maggie!

Today, dear daughter, you turned 5.  Five.  F.I.V.E.!!  Where has the time gone?!

I love your words, such big words you use for such a little girl (like 'apparently', and how you are 'quite thirsty'), I love hearing you read, I love the way you snuggle into me when I sit next to you on the couch, I love how easy going you are....so unlike me, but I'm learning from you :)

I could say a million things, but it's only what there are no words for that I want you to know the most.  I want you to feel what my heart feels.  I want you to know the feeling of overwhelming thankfulness and joy that I get by being blessed to be your mother.  I want you to know that seeing your face first thing in the morning makes me smile, and that first hug I get each morning from you is better than any old cup of coffee at getting my day started right.  You, my baby girl, have a place in my heart like no other.

Happy birthday, sweet Magdalene Jean...you are my heart.
