Our Little Bit is 3 Months Old (AK)

To the most adorable little girl in the world, (along with your twin sissies!)

You have stolen mommy and daddy's heart! I cannot believe you are already three months old! How could that possibly be true?! The time is flying by way too fast and mommy isn't so sure she likes it very much. =0) You melt our hearts! Ashton Kate, the Lord was soo incredibly gracious when He gave us you! You have the BEST temperament, you are a great sleeper, and you are laughing, smiling, and cooing away these days and we are soaking up every minute. We are trying so hard to savor each baby moment with you and just hold you close knowing this time is so fleeting! We are so grateful for your easy going demeanor and your overall easiness thus far. We're not exactly sure how we would survive if that wasn't the case. We might even fight over getting to hold you at night because that means we are relaxed and not running wild with your twin sisters! Ha! We hope you always know how much we love you, but even more how much Jesus loves you! It's exciting to see your big sisters learning bible verses and starting to understand things about Jesus and although you sit with us many nights for "family worship time," we're pretty confident there's not much understanding at this point. =) But soon we pray that will change. We can't wait to teach you all about Him. The ONE who created YOU! The one who fashioned you perfectly in His image. We await with great anticipation the day you too will see your need for a Savior and see the magnitude of His abundant grace. Apart from Him, we are nothing. With Him, we now await eternity with Him forever. We love you Ashton Kate Currie and thank God for blessing us with the sweetest little girl that has captured our hearts and then some...

Love, Mommy & Daddy
