Tiny little feet,

A gorgeous wide-eyed smile,

And 10 little fingers

              Tip-toe into life.

We prepared,

Our home opened for another,

              Our hearts warmed for a girl.

A surprise, but happiness nonetheless,

A miracle brought to life in unlikely circumstances,

A spectacular happening.

Nine months, seemingly two,

Passed in preparation for our blessing,

A new home, new room, and new hopes

              Became the year that we welcomed

our sunshine into the world and

                             into our hearts forever.
