My Sweet Ali



As I ponder about our last 3 years together, there is much to be thankful for since this sweet girl entered our hearts and our family. I often feel like I share too much about our struggles with Alyssa. I really try to positive and I hope that I balance those posts with the ones that convey our struggles. She is the sweetest baby one could ask for. I have a co-worker who always describes Alyssa as having a "zest for life." That she sure has. Here are just a few things that I love about my sweet girl...

Some of the things I LOVE about my sweet Ali….

I love how she squeals with joy and runs to me when I come home from work yelling, “MOMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!”

I love how she snuggles up to me and lays on the couch with me

I love how she sucks on her thumb and holds her blankie up against her nose for comfort

I love how she gets excited to have a “Family Movie Night” even though she never watches the movie

I love her big beautiful brown eyes

I love her belly laugh

I love her puffy little lips that are so kissable

I love how she always asks about her “sista” when Emily is not around

I love watching her play dress up and twirl around in her Princess dresses

I love watching her bloom

I love how she melts into my arms when she gives me a tight hug around my neck

I love how she comes to me for comfort when she needs it

I love how she exclaims, “this is just the best” when something as simple as playing a game with Mommy occurs

I love how she turns her face away from you and closes her eyes when you want to discuss something that she prefers not to talk about LOL

I love how she makes me smile

I love how proud she makes me feel of her

I love LOVING her

I love you sweet girl!!! Happy 3rd Family Day!!

Hi Michele! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you about the bracelets. I would love to make some for your girls. I ran out of beads and need to order them and may not receive them until next week. I could get them in the mail probably by the end of next week, if you wanted them in time for Christmas. No need to pay me for them. I am happy to do it. Could you send me your address? scrappermg@cox.net

Thanks!

P.S. Your girls are beautiful.

What a great post! Your Ally is just the sweetest little girl - I will never (NEVER!) forget that time when I got the BIGGEST hug - with a running start! That kind of joy is contagious! Hugs to you all!

Ali and Emily are so fortunate and blessed to have such a special Mommy. They are who they are because of you. Happy Belated Family Day!
