It seems like it was just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital. I remember when you were born, we went to the hospital not knowing if you were a boy or a girl. I remember a part of me secretly was hoping you might be a girl, yet either way we would have been perfectly happy. The minute you were born, they said, "its a girl!" I'll never forget the look on your Daddy's face or that feeling I had inside. A precious, perfect, pink baby girl! We had talked about baby names, for a girl we had settled on Laura Esther. The nurse asked us what we were going to name you. I turned to Daddy and asked, "Laura Esther?". He looked over at you and said, "Carolyn Rose". We never talked about that name at all. It just came to him and it seemed perfect. A little rose... and how sweet you've bloomed!

You have grown so fast, and into such a little girl, (or princess as you like to say). So to our little magpie... We love you more than you will ever know. We hope you have lots of fun at your birthday party!

With Lots of love, hugs & kisses,

Daddy, Mommy, Benji, Katie & John




(Excuse the photos, I had to scan them!) Check back later for pictures of the birthday party!! Speaking of bday parties; it was orginally planned for tonight (Friday), but now has been RE-scheduled for Sunday! I'm thinking of having a 'kids party' tomorrow, since all the kiddos have been 'planning' for Friday night for so long! :)
