Who wouldn't?
Long days in the NICU.....but only for 2 1/2 weeks, then she was all ours... 
This was taken in October, I haven't taken her 7 year old pictures, but this will do for now..... 
Time Flies when you're having fun. She's so talkative, sweet, dramatic, and spunky. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Okay, is this not the sweetest face?!
Christmas was great--We had 3 (again) this year. We spent Christmas eve at my mom's and went to the service at her church. My 3 sisters and I sang again this year, except this time we sang more than one song! I wasn't quite as nervous this time. After the service we went back to mom's, ate dinner, and opened presents. It was chaotic, but lots of fun.
