Half a Decade (gulp!)

5 years ago today we met our baby. She is about 14 in a 5-year-old's body, but she was our first-and-always baby. She has a tender heart: she hurts when others hurt and loves to make people happy. She is sharp: she not only picks up on what is said but also on things unspoken. She is a Daddy's girl through-and-through but also loves special time with me. Caroline and Jack absolutely light up when they hear her voice, and she gives them her full attention and love. She is graceful, imaginative, opinionated, and a leader. She is a good friend, a sweet girl, and our very own princess. She is our precious Aly-bug.
