Marissa

How is it EVEN possible that you are four years old today?! The first time Jim and I came to CT and held you was one of the coolest days of my life. I was so excited that after having two nephews, I had a niece. I had you.

Your nickname as a baby, from your daddy was "smiley" because you were ALWAYS smiling and happy. Such a loved little girl.


You have grown FAR too fast for me. Could you maybe slow down just a bit? please?
You have brought so much love to our family. Love I didn't know we were missing, but love I couldn't live without now.


When I saw this picture, taken by our wedding photographer, I gasped and teared up. Your innocence is amazing. You are a gorgeous little girl. I love you so much sweetheart.
Now, stop growing. No more preschool. Stay this innocent and pure, It is beautiful on you =) I love you so much baby girl!! Happy birthday!
