Happy Birthday!!

Our one and only Teagie Bear,

Two years ago today, we received a gift that has changed us forever. You. Our Teagan Alise. It’s difficult to put into words the way we felt when we first saw your face and the way we continue to feel each day as we watch you grow into the beautiful, vibrant, strong, sensitive, empathetic, nurturing, risk-taking, imaginative, smart, adorable, innocent, silly, loving, sweet soul that you’ve become. Your enthusiasm for life…a constant joy that just naturally pours out into everything you do…has rejuvenated our spirits and made us view each day with a newfound sense of wakefulness and purpose. Our love for you exceeds that which we are able to articulate with words. You are a piece of our heart walking in the flesh. We thank God each day for trusting us with you, His daughter, His precious gift to us.

In two years, you've moved from being a baby to being a such a big girl. We continue to bask in each day we get with you, secretly wishing that we could just stop time once in awhile, as we know these days are slipping by so quickly. Nonetheless, we wait in anticipation and excitement for the all of the continued journeys ahead, knowing that you’ll always be our lil’ girl.

We love you and celebrate your two years of life today!

Love Always,

~ Mommy and Daddy
(and your best buds, Wyatt and Bailey)


Here is a collection of our favorite pictures of our lil' girl over the last year!

Happy Birthday (belated) Teagan! Precious post Brookie! I love how I can see both you and Tim in her looks. What a blessing from the Lord she is--and I'm sure a great big sister as well. Miss you!
