I am constantly amazed when I look at my sweet little Clare at how she is growing and changing every day. Her birth was so hard after a hard pregnancy. It was a rough start which I feared would interfere with our bonding. She was a handful of a toddler, living up to her beautiful red hair. Often, she made us wonder if we could handle more kids! But somewhere along the way, as she became a big sister to a little sister and then a little brother, she became such a darling. I love to listen to her talk to me. I love her smile and her zest for life. She is still every bit a red head and has her moments, but at the rate she is going, I can't wait to see the woman she will become! For now, I will savor each day, appreciating the blessed gift that she is.
