Our Sweet Erin

Erin has more nicknames than I can remember...."Happy", "Chunky-Monkey", "Chunk", "Peeks", "Sweet Pea", "Punky", "Lucky Seven". While we love her name, somehow a simple "Erin" just doesn't paint the whole picture. She's a magnet for lovable nicknames. In these past five and a half months, she has brought an amazing amount of love into our family. She's my little designer baby; designed by God, with a little extra chromosome. Never could we have predicted how much Erin could teach us. Never could we have imagined how much this little one could bless our family. I'm sure she'll have many, many more surprises for us as she grows up. People often comment to me that she is so fortunate to have been born into our family....that we are the perfect family for her. I'd like to say thank-you for that comment. But more accurately, I'd like to clarify that it's WE who are fortunate. She is the perfect daughter and sister for our family. And she brings out the best in each one of us. Thank you, Lord, for sending us this amazing gift......Erin.
