Card from Aunt Vonne

We just received a beautiful card from Jess's Aunt Vonne that we both feel truly encapsulates how we feel about our new little one. It said the following:

SOMEDAY, she'll be a famous pianist
or a high school science teacher.
She'll settle down, marry, have a couple of kids.
Maybe she won't

SOMEDAY, she'll help millions of people
all over the world.
Or maybe she'll travel,
send letters from Africa
or phone you from Rome.

SOMEDAY, she'll be a strong, confident woman...

...but you will always remember
the first time 
you held her in your arms.

SOMEDAY, she'll have her own hopes and dreams,
not knowing that once upon
a quiet time, you closed your eyes
and dreamed
to have her in your life.

  2. I am so glad you liked the card. It was one of those times that I found one that expressed way better than I could exactly how I felt. You and Ramsey will be wonderful parents. I can't wait to meet Riley....she is beautiful.

    Love,
