First Day of Pre-School

Dear Henny,

My blue-eyed babe. We have spent every single day together for the past two years. Stuck like glue. On my hip, in a carrier, holding my hand, by my side.

And the day has come for you to start school. Every time we pass Bethany School you say, "Halen's school!" Now you will join your big sister there darling.

I know you will have an amazing time, I know you are ready. I am ready for you to start this new chapter, but it is still bittersweet for mommy.

You are going to soar this year, you will learn your colors, numbers, how to be in a classroom, you will make friends and finally gain some independence from being the little sister in our house.

I am so proud of you bright baby of mine. From the day you were born you have been our little ray of sunshine. You smile every single morning when I get you out of your crib, and every single time I get you up from nap.

My happy happy baby. May this be the beginning of your scholarly journey. The key is awaiting for you to unlock the possibilities life has for you.

Jesus has woven a special gift into your soul and I am so excited for you to discover what that is. Jesus loves you so much and will nurture you every step of the way. 

Happy First Day of Pre-School Henley Charlevoix.

I love you more than every stay in the Rocky Mountain sky, more than every grain of sand on the Sleeping Bear Dunes.

Love,

Mommy

Mama’s Love

Do you know how much you mean to me Henley Charlevoix?

You mean the world. You were sent by God to be my wings, my arrow who reminds me of what is most important.

I love you more than every grain of sand on the Sleeping Bear Dunes, more than every star in the Rocky Mountain sky.

God knew we needed you and he blessed us with you.

The past two years have been the best of my life, with you in it.

I love your golden hair, your eyes like the deep blue sea, I love your snuggles, I love your skin and how sweet you are. I love your compassion and how much you are starting to talk. I love your love for your blankie and your dance moves. I love your rock collecting skills and your love for pockets. We have a connection deeper than any human being Henley. You were my buddy when we started this journey. I am ever grateful for you baby girl.

Always be kind Henley, strive for greatness, always find a way to serve others, befriend the weak, the small, the timid, the harsh, the forgotten. When you are lost seek Jesus, he will point you in the weight direction. Be humble. Be grateful for all the blessings you have. Your sister is your best friend and your daddy is your prince. YaYa is always there for you. Aunt Dana and auncle darwn are your god parents they promised to guide you and love you always.

You’re my Henny Hen. My sweet bucket of sunshine. You bring my hearty the greasiest joy.

I love you I like be you I love you be you.

Mama
