Dearest Quinn~
This time last year, I was still enjoying the wonder of you growing inside of me. You have almost spent as much time here in the world with us as you did growing and growing in my belly. Having you join our family was the perfect final puzzle piece.
You are still my girl through and through. I cannot leave a room without a protest from you. We snuggle together every night and I wake to your beautiful face every morning. We move over and snuggle in with Piper and Davilyn before we start our day. Quinn, my dearest, I would not have life any other way. Our days can get busy and chaotic with the three of you, but those few moments in the morning are just for us. Your sisters love on you like they haven’t seen you for days and we all just lay there in our sleepy haze.
Those are the moments that make the hard work of parenthood worth it. I’d labour 23 hours, 59 minutes a day at parenthood for one moment of that. Someday, you will know that feeling too. Someday.
I’ve returned to work, one day a week, and it never gets easier. I still find that my 3 Divas are on my mind most of the day. My worries for the older two have changed as they are growing older. My worries for you are that you are napping well. Happy. Not playing strange. That you feel just as loved with Miss Charlene, as you feel here at home. That my 3 Divas look out for each other.
Eight months ago, you arrived. Completing our family and our journey to parenthood. I know with every fibre of my being that we were all chosen for one another and that it all had to be in perfect time. What a perfect time it is…
Mama loves you, Quinner.
Love Mama

You make it all look so easy, but we all know different, I just love reading this and reading all about my favourite great nieces.
What a great picture of Quinn! I haven’t seen many pictures of her face-on looking at the camera. She’s growing up so fast, it feels like you just had her! She’s a cutie!
