My little slice of Heaven




Heaven Sky Unger - 35 Months Old

 Wow, I really can't believe that my baby is about to turn 3!  Seems like only yesterday she was a 5lb 8oz little bundle of joy - now she's my nearly 30 pound, fun loving girly girl who is completely convinced she is a princess.

Where did the time go?

Sometimes I feel like I can't wait for her to grow up and be more independent, and then, in the very next breath, i'm longing for those days of complete dependence.  I'll tell you one thing for certain though - I do NOT miss the sleepless nights.


I love the little lady she is becoming.  She has more personality in her tiny body than most adults do in their large ones.  She is caring and thoughtful and has great manners, or so we've been told.  She also has a terrifying temper, but we wont get into that right now.

She has taught me so much about myself, and so much about life.  I love looking at things through her eyes, because it's when we see things through the eyes of a child that we truly learn to appreciate the simple things in life. Like how kids are more thrilled with wrapping paper and boxes than the toy we scoped out for weeks, saved for and then endured crowded stores, rude cashiers and bad traffic for.

I honestly believe my girls were meant to be in my life - God hand picked them for me and I couldn't be more grateful.  Yes, some days are hard, but we're always loving, living and learning.

I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real,
As if it had been so.

For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you.
