Hillary is 4!!

As I lay in bed last night reminiscing with Keith about the events that took place around 4 years ago, I found myself in tears. I remembered how we had two choices set aside for her name, just waiting to get a look at her to make a final decision. I had suggested the name Hillary not long after we learned she was a girl, but the name was quickly put out of the picture by Keith. He didn't want her name to be linked to Hilary Duff or even worse, Hillary Clinton. The moment she was delivered I remember collapsing back onto the bed for a brief moment until I heard the doctor declare "She has red hair!" I shot back up and took the first look at my beautiful baby girl and pressed my lips to that little head full of soft, red hair! It wasn't long until she was passed to Keith who almost immediately told me, "She looks like a Hillary." I agreed.

Hillary=Cheerful

Ann=Gracious (This name belongs to both of her grandmothers)

Happy Birthday, Hillary!!! Mommy, loves you more than words can say!!!

Happy Birthday Hillary!!! I still remember the day that your parents brought you home from the hospital. I cannot believe that you are already four. Where does the time go?
