It's official - our sweet precious Matea is one year old! The year has gone by so quickly and yet it's hard to even imagine life without our little girl. Even Elijah says he doesn't remember when Matea was not around. It is a joy to see Eli hug Matea and tell her he loves her, and to thank God for her in his prayers. We didn't know, a year ago, if we could really be parents to two children and have enough love to go around, but now we know that when it comes to love we don't have a finite amount available to give. Instead our love grew exponentially with the birth of Matea, and we have an endless supply available for both of our children. Love is a miracle!
Matea, you are living up to the meaning of your name, and truly our our gift from God. You are a blessing and we are so thankful for you. You are fun, and funny, and quirky, and have so much personality that your little body can barely hold it all. You are opinionated (wonder where you got that?) and know what you want (and aren't afraid to tell us!). You love being outside and love being around people and are a happy little girl. You already have a daredevil personality and we can't wait to see what the next year brings as we try to keep up with you. :) You are our treasure and we love you, princess. Happy birthday sweet girl!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy and Elijah
