Matia's 7


Wow, where does the time go? It seems like it was just yesterday that I was in Eagle Mountain with a brand new baby girl. I remember at first being so nervous that she was a girl because after all I had a baby boy and I knew how they worked. But a girl this was all new to me and could I ever possibly love her as much as I loved Bowdee? Would I make a good mother to her?

Well time goes by, and only time can answer some of those questions. My life would simply not be complete with out my Matia. We named her Matia becuase it reminded us of a place we love to vacation in California and also because it means "Gift of God". Matia has truely been my gift from God. She lightens my heaviest of loads just with a smile.

I love the way she is so tender hearted and thinks of everyone all the time. I love how she claims she is now a tree hugger and a tomboy who doesn't like pink anymore. I love her spunk and her charm. I love that you have a mind of your own and you are not afraid to tell anyone about it. Although I am sure at times your father would love for you to keep some of your hunting point of views to yourself. I love you Matia for everything you are and everything you are teaching me to be. Your amazing in all aspects of life. Keep living with a smile in your heart and a dance in your step. Happy Birthday sweetie.
