“And though she be but little, she is fierce.”

— WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM

We love this quote around our house, not because Bella is especially fierce, but because she is little! When she was born, she had the most precious little feet, and we all adored her on the spot. Bella arrived at midnight on a March night filled with joy and anticipation. We were so excited to bring our little pink girl home to make our little family a party of three. We have raised her with love and care, and she brings us joy every day. Her love for singing and music is evident as she performs with her school choir and ladies ensemble. She is fun and funny, and no matter the circumstances, she carries on with a smile on her face and a kind word to those she meets. She has become a young lady of integrity, faith, intelligence and wit and we are so proud of her!

The day of her senior portrait was filled with sunshine and happiness, and I so enjoyed watching her twirl in the light.

No matter how big and successful she becomes, and no matter how far she goes, she will always be our little Bella, and we love her dearly. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her in her beautiful life!
