Remember this post I did for Becca's birthday? Well, you didn't think I'd let Mara's birthday go by and not do a sappy post for her too, did you?
Sweet Mara....
Oh how four years have flown by!
It honestly feels like just yesterday that I was waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for a baby. Oh how I wanted a baby so bad, but God sure taught me so much during that waiting.
Then I was waiting, and waiting, and WAITING for you to come out of my tummy...you were two weeks late. I thought I'd be pregnant forever!
And then I got to meet you and kiss that precious face. The day my whole life changed!
I've never met a sweeter or more nurturing girl. You help me take care of your baby sisters, and have such a caring heart.
And how funny and silly you are! You love making your mommy and daddy laugh.
And now you're such a big girl...and so very independent.
I love you so much, and can't wait to see what the future holds for you.
Do me a favor though...don't grow so fast. I'm afraid I'm going to miss something!
Love,
Mom

Happy, Happy Birthday sweet little Mara...I was so excited when you were born and we all crowded in that tiny hospital room to love on you!! It's fun watching you grow up..Sharon
Sniffle, sniffle - you got me today!
Happy Birthday to Mara! I remember waiting with you for the two weeks after your due date. I was almost as anxious as you and Phil.
You made me cry....again.
