story.

once upon a time,

we waited...

and our hearts ached...

and we prayed.

once upon a time,

we doubted...

we feared...

but we hoped.

once upon a time,

we were surprised...

with a gift...

smaller than a mustard seed.

perfect perfection...

that grew and grew...

once upon a time,

we were blessed.

it was time...

the right time.

and she was here.

once upon a time,

our world completely changed...

as it became less focused on us

and more focused on her.

there once was a time before her...

but i can't quite remember it.

it's almost as if she's always been.

we couldn't be more blessed with the little girl God gave us.

she's so close to perfect (but not quite).

{sidenote: God, we'll take three more just like her.}

...and they lived happily ever after...
