Happy Birthday Aubrie

Today, January 30th, is my little granddaughter's first birthday. Words cannot describe how much I love her and feel incredible blessed to have her in my life. She is such a happy, active baby with the sweetest chubby cheeks. Surely, the angels in heaven clapped their hands in joy the moment her mom and dad heard her first cry--and we've all been clapping ever since! Even Aubrie puts her little hands together and claps for joy!

I remember the first time I saw her. She were getting cleaned up and weighed and she was screaming mad. Once everything was all settled, I held her for the first time and I fell in love with her right then and there. I never knew how much joy she would bring to all of our lives.

I don't think a child ever knows how deep a parents love is for them until they bring a child into this world themselves. I know her mom and dad love her very much and now they know how much their parents love them.

Aubrie, I look forward to being your "nanny" and all the happy days we'll spend together.

Happy Birthday,
Love,
Nanny
