To my 3 little girls from Daddy

    I cannot even begin to tell you how much you three mean to me. I sit here tonight looking at pictures of the three you and can't even begin to comprehend how fast you are growing up. I thought about the future and what it will bring me. I thought about the day you three each get married. I shed a tear cause I know it will be the three hardest days of my life. You are my little disney princesses that will grow up to be real life princesses. I can't imagine what my life was before you three.
  Natalie, you are my achiever. You learn things like no other. You amaze me every day. My first born. I know that you will achieve many great things in this life. you will become someone. I hope you know that I have loved you every single day of your life and will for the rest of your life. I remember the first time you ever crawled. I remember how that green binkie ingulfed your little face. I remember how you were always bigger than all the kids your age. How you used to love pureed carrots and squash. I remember how you used to crawl on one leg and gave us the popeye look. I also remember how you used to get the food everywhere but in your mouth. I remember the first time you went to the beach and did a face plant into the sand. you did not like that :( I remember how I used to dress you up in little costumes and tape videos of you. I remember the first time you met Delaney, which happened to be the same day you decided to start walking. I remember how you cried when you first sat next to Delaney cause you were no longer the only child. Natalie you have a gentle and caring heart. You are sensitive and care about what people think and care deeply if Mommy or Daddy is happy. Natalie I know I will cry the day I dance with you on your wedding day. I often think back to a movie called BiCentenial Man where a father danced with his daughter on that day and he realized that he was losing his daughter who was becoming a woman. I think of a song written by Stephan Curtis Chapman called, "Cinderella" Natalie, you are my Cinderella. I know you will be something great in life. I just know it. Don't let anything ever hold you back. Keep your faith and morals, and go out there and take over the world.
  Delaney, you are my beauty queen and my cuddler. You do not know it yet, but the boys will be chasing you everywhere you go. As you get older, you only get more beautiful. I know you will have alot of success in life cause when you want something, you get it done. I know that you will never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. You will always be able to prove them wrong. Don't ever settle love. No one out there will ever be good enough for you. But I know that you will find your prince. I know that you are going to be our singer of the family. Often I will hear you in the other room just start singing, and you are so passionate about it. You two are my disney princess. You are my Belle. So beautiful and smart. I know that you will make a beast a princess. I can remember as a baby how you used to love to sit in your uncle Daniel's lap and just rock back and forth. I can remember how the only way to get you to sleep was putting you in the swing. I remember how I used to love taking pictures of you and I would even go as far as to put you in a mixer bowl to get a creative picture of you (it didn't turn out so well). I can remember your first steps walking from Mommy to Daddy. I can remember how you used to love me to throw you really high in the air and how that all changed just a year later.  I remember how passionate you were when you played with your toys and how when your sister Kherrington came how you wanted to play with just her all the time. I wish you would never grow up and stay little forever. I remember how you would come up to our room every night cause you wanted to sleep in my arms. I loved it so much. I have never felt so closer to you than I did when you laid with me. You would snore so loud, but I didn't care cause I had my baby girl in my arms. I hope you always let me hug and hold you and are never embarrassed of me. One day you will feel the love I am talking about when you have a little one of your own. I love you so much Delaney!
  Kherrington, my baby girl. You are my delicate one. You have always been our smallest child. You have grown leeps and bounds. You suprise me all the time. I see you watch and trust your sisters so much and always follow their lead. Anytime two children are playing you are one of those playing with the other. You have learned to do everything so much quicker than the other two. I can only imagine who you are going to become. I can remeber your first christmas when I wrapped you in wrapping paper. I can remember how much you loved to put on Disney dresses. I can remember how you love to breastfeed and made it a whole entire year. I remember how much you used to love our little pool in the backyard. You are my Sleeping Beauty Kherrington. I love you so much Kherrington and I know I have so much to learn from the three of you and now you are blessed to have two brothers in your life. I know that we still have many years in front of us. I just know that soon I will never get to see you as babies anymore and will become my grown-up children. Please know that I love all three of you with all my heart and soul. I hope that you will always be a part of our lives even when you grow up and have a family of your own. You have made me the man that I am today. I would never ever ever change anything about my life. I got the best children I could have ever asked for. I love you three so much!!!!!
Love always,
   Daddy
