Three.

Bella, 

Every year, on your big brothers and sister's birthdays, I write a little poem, commemorating them on their special day. But this year sweet girl, for your first birthday ever here at home, there is only one poem that seems befitting of you, and it is not one that I wrote. 

These are the words that have been yours since before we even saw your face. They were a sign from God to go to you, to not stop until we found you, and we will be thankful every day for the rest of our lives that we listened - that we traveled to the other side of the world, over the rainbow :), to find you and bring you home. So for you, Bella Elizabeth, on this, your third birthday, I say

Somewhere over the rainbow

way up high,

There's a place that I heard of

once in a lullaby. 

Somewhere over the rainbow

skies are blue; 

And the dreams that you dare to dream 

really do come true. 

Happy 3rd Birthday to our dream come true. We cannot imagine life without you in it, Bellaboo, and are so thankful to finally have you home with us, where you belong. We absolutely adore you, sweet baby. We are so, so, so lucky. Now, let's celebrate!

With All My Heart, 

Momma
