Eva,
Yesterday you turned 4 years old!!! Where did the time go? You are such a Fabulous Four year old-the perfect combination of sugar and spice and you keep every minute in our home interesting. I remember the second you were born. You came out screaming-and the second they put you in my arms-you became calm and peaceful. I love how much you trust us. You are remarkably patient for a four year old and you are especially patient considering the pace of our household. You LOVE each family member with all of your heart-and your heart is a big one. Whenever someone is hurt or sad-you immediately turn into a mother hen-protecting and nurturing them. You are keenly intelligent and observant. You are endlessly capable and those things that are hard become your hearts challenge. You LOVE a challenge and you have huge amounts of courage. Eva-you can run for miles and never tire. I'm pretty sure that warp speed will be the pace of your life because you've got things to do and just not enough hours in the day to do them. We love your big, sweet eyes, your contagious smile and laughter and your ability to love. There is just something about you that is magical and you have allowed us to feel life's wonder through your existence. You captivate people with your joyfulness. We LOVE you so much and are thankful we've had four amazing years as your parents-but we can't wait to see all the rest....except maybe teenagehood because yesterday you were making your barbies make out. That scared us. Please stop now.
Love,
Mom and Dad
