Happy Birthday, CC! You're 7!

Happy Birthday, my favorite little girl!

I can't believe you're 7! I know I say that every year, but each year it gets harder and harder for me to believe that you aren't that newborn I met in the hospital, or that curly-haired toddler who was constantly curious, or even that adventurous preschooler who accompanied me across the globe.

You are a brilliant and sweet 1st grader, who is fearless and whip smart. You're also a pretty cool big sister now—you make Will laugh constantly.

I can't wait to see how this year goes, how you'll grow and what you'll—what we'll—see together.

I love you!
