Dear Sweet Mauryn,

It is hard to think back and remember what our family was like before you.  You bring so much energy and life into our home.  You feel all things deeply - happy, sad, or mad- we all know how you are feeling.  We love to listen to you sing your songs and watch you dance your dances.  You make us all giggle daily.  We love to see how you are protective of your older sister and brother. You are so sweet to them if their feelings are hurt.  Your tender heart balances your fiery personality.  We can't wait to see the plans God has for your life.

Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you!

Mommy and Daddy
