Four years ago today, I was driving down Sand Lake, heading to work, passing by McDonald's, when the phone call I had been waiting ALL day for finally came.
"Alix Lind Court is here." my mom said, laughing and crying at the same time. And then I was crying and laughing too. She was a grandma. My dad was a grandpa. My brother was a dad. I was an aunt. There was another person in the family.
And she has brought us so much joy in the last 4 years. I don't get to see her as much as I would love to, but we make up for it when I do. I could play with her, and Cade, all day long...and I have, lol. I might be biased, but she is brilliant, and hysterically funny, and absolutely gorgeous. I am so blessed to be her aunt. I am so blessed to have been able to go to Disneyland with her and see her face when she met the Princesses 'in person'. I am so blessed that when I am with her, she wants me to put her in her carseat and me to lay with her while she falls asleep.
So, Happy Birthday to my very favorite niece...I know this year will bring lots of excitement and changes (a new baby brother or sister!). I can't wait to watch the beautiful woman that you will grow into!!
