HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARPER LYNN!
Our self-proclaimed princess* turns three today (even though I lied about her birthday yesterday so that I could leave her at Pepe's Playhouse while I went Krogering. Stop judging me on my daughter's birthday.)
*I have a strange aversion to the word princess but God likes to see me uncomfortable so He gave me a daughter who entered the world proclaiming royalty.
Harper, you are pure spunk mixed with a healthy dose of sass sprinkled generously with feisty-ness all wrapped in the most precious package of love. Each night you give me a hug, a big squeeze, and a kiss on the lips (in that order) and it continues to be the highlight of my day. I love you when you jump in my arms the minute I walk in the door just as much as I love you when you are throwing a tantrum, body flailing on the floor. Your highs and lows humble me and remind me that we both need Jesus. Speaking of Jesus, I love that your favorite story in the world is the story of baby Jesus. There aren't words to describe the joy I feel when I open a book (any book) and you scurry through the pages looking for a baby-in-a-manger.
Harper Lynn, I love you. You make me so happy. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
Happy Birthday, Harper Lynn!! I love that I've gotten to be a part of your whole little life from the hospital on. You are precious and amazing, and we love you!!

DeleteFor starters - Nooooo way!!!! When I met you and started going to your small group, Harper was just a small little 3 months old. So wow-zers. She is just growing up so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteSecond, my favorite part of this whole post, "Your highs and lows humble me and remind me that we both need Jesus." That could not describe my days with Hope any clearer! Thanks for putting it in words for me! :)
