I wanted to write about my daughter Ashlyn today. Some things get said around her that she has heard and then she asks me questions. I never want her to feel left out from not looking like us or me not giving birth to her. She is the the 5th born of grandchildren on both sides families and the second born as a girl. So this Blog is dedicated to her and how much we love her. Yes she is adopted but we do not feel she is any different than if she were born with our genes. She is still ours and she is a part of our family. In fact I feel that she is just as loved or even more loved from most of those around her because of her circumstances. So here are 10 things I love about you Ashy.
1. You are naturally the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
2. You are so smart and know more than you should. You pick up on things that kids your age do not. Some things that I wish you wouldn't pick up on you do.
3. You love Josh and treat him so good. He just gets so excited when he See's your face in the mornings. Your a great big sister.
4. You say the best prayers ever. I am so proud of you that you love Jesus and are thankful for him.
5. You tell me that I am your BFFL all the time. I hope we can always be best friends and have a good relationship.
6. You love dad, Josh, and I 25.
7. You have a love for shoes just like mom and dad and you never get your shoes dirty.
8. You eat like a horse. I love that you will eat food that mom and dad love. I love how much you can put away in that small little body of yours.
9. I love how organized you are. I love how you put your candy into colors and types. How you always sort things out into shapes, sizes and colors.
10. Most of all I just love you and every little thing about you. You made mom's dream come true so that I could be a mom and that means everything to me.
Mom and Dad love you so much and are so proud of you. You are a great blessing in our lives. We feel like you were meant to be ours and we are so glad you are.
