Sadey, I look at this picture and the tears start to swell. I can't believe it's been two and a half years since we first met. I feel like I've known you since birth. Well....your birth that is! ;) Remember when you came over to my house for the first time? I was so excited! Remember when you gave us that little pink dress to tell us that you were having a girl? Holy crap I was beside myself with joy! Remember when Milo started calling her, "Google" and it just stuck? Remember when we went to the Bee's game and had a blast eating those crazy ginormous hot dogs? Remember going out to the Cheesecake Factory and the picture we took of your tiny 5'2" body next to Kelly's far large 6'5" body?
Hehe! That still cracks me up! Remember when we used to watch movies and I'd feel Google kick and I'd cry? Remember how we'd watch the Bachelor and text each other about how lame some of those girls were? Remember when you called me to tell me that you were going to have her 3 weeks early and I freaked out? Remember how you went to hospital to be induced and you ate breakfast AND lunch when you weren't supposed to? Thanks for that, by the way. Her birth date is much cuter now! Remember how your pillow had raccoon eyes from your mascara after you got that dang epidural? Funny now. Not funny then! Remember when Kelly and I went out to dinner and left you there? Rude! Remember when the doctor asked us to leave the room so you could deliver? Remember when we came back into the room after she was born and we saw her for the first time? She looked like a little Native American
papoose! Remember how chubby her little cheeks were? Remember how awesome those few days in the hospital were? Remember how many tears were shed at placement? Remember how your mom took you to Park City to chill and you had to have her stop at
Wal-Mart to get the pink lotion that smelled like Malia? Remember how much you love Malia?
Sadey, remember how much I love you and how I am Eternally grateful to you for giving to me the greatest thing I have ever been given. Remember how much Malia loves you for giving her the greatest thing anyone has ever given her. Remember that you will always hold a special place in our hearts for your selfless, loving, most Christ-like sacrifice I can imagine. Remember that, because of you....I have the daughter I have always prayed for. I love you
Sadey Jo!

Thanks a bunch Beth! Now MY tears are rolling! I am so so thankful for you guys. I was able to help your family become more complete, but you guys really are a piece of my family too. I can't thank my Heavenly Father enough for giving us Malia Jayne. If not for her, I wouldn't have you guys! I know we have said it before but I know somehow, we are family :) I love you!!
Beth, this picture is priceless. I love it!!! Did you ever get one of April and Mimes like this?! LOVE IT!!!
btw, that's STEPH, not MIKE!
I'm sure grateful for that Malia Jayne, too! She's beautiful, and we know where she gets it from!
