Maybe I was a little misty-eyed all day remembering every hour of craziness one year ago today... while sitting calmly at my desk. I may have yelled out to my staff in the other room, "Heidi will be here in 2 and a half hours from right now. I just started pushing right now!" They patronized me and sighed along with me at how fast the year had gone. But it has gone quickly. Lightning speed quick. In fact, all year long I've said, "I know now why it's a cliche: that whole thing that parents say, 'Oh they'll be grown and gone before you know it.' Because it's true." Heidi is truly the biggest accomplishment in my 32 years on this globe. She is a beautiful, vibrant little soul and we are so blessed to be chosen to raise her. I told the Lord before she was born, "Now if you allow me to actually have a girl, she has to be a Die (Great Grammie's side of the family---characters every one). She has to be the fourth generation Diva. There can be none of this shy, quiet and reserved sweet child. Give me the sassy kind of girl!" And well, I have one more bit of proof to God answering prayers living in our home. Heidi Suzanne has more personality packed in her little finger than many adults!
So tomorrow we will officially celebrate her gracing us with her presence with a blow-out, McGarvey-style party. Fifty guests will gather to munch and lunch and read Dr. Seuss and shower Heidi Lou Who with presents. More photos to come.
