Birth of Pride

Gabby and Gracie

Once upon a time, in a state far far away. There was a mommy and daddy waiting patiently. No stork, no baskit with a bundle of joy wrapped in a blanket. But the real thing! Waiting and anticipating the arrival of their first born child.
For nine months mommy grew bigger and bigger and daddy waited paitently with excitement growing at every kick of mommy's tummy. A name was chosen by God, clothing and toys given, a room set up with crib and chair. Now they waited for the day when they met their first baby face to face.
During the coldest morning of the winter mommy rolled over and woke daddy. "It's time!" Daddy jumped up and with a flash started the car to make the dash! A full day of labor and ice chips followed. That night, the 22nd of december daddy and mommy recieved the best Christmas gift ever!
Daddy saw you first eyes so very blue, born face up looking at you. We wrapped you warm and gave you to mommy, daddy cryed tears of joy as did mommy...

That night this daddy learned what true pride and joy could be. Today is my Gabby's 5th birthday. For five years she has brought us joy beyond measure. She's our princess and much much more than a treasure. Jesus gave us this bundle of blessing to raise and keep safe. We are watching her grow into a beautiful little girls. Bright eyes and big smiles make our home full. God gave her a spirit of kindness and love for others. She's just like mommy and no other. I am more blessed than I could ever immagine to celebrate the birth of my first born daughter.

Thank you Jesus for the blessing of our children you gave us to take care of.


I love you Gabby more than you will ever know. Our connection will never grow old. You are daddy's girl until the day I pass. Never forget that Daddy loves you!


Merry Christmas,


Mike III AKA: Big Daddy
