Another Page in the Book

Although I insisted that I didn't need a baby shower for another girl...my dear friends from church threw Ashtyn and I one anyway! It was wonderful!! Karen Brgoch (already having 3 girls) shared with us the joys of girls and especially sisters! She wrote this poem and I loved it so much I wanted to put it on my blog!...

Though having all girls was not necessarily my first choice

God has graciously given me many reasons to rejoice

There is something magical about having all girls

from play rooms with kitchens, dress-up and dolls

to dreaming of days arm-in-arm at the malls

I love that with Daddy they build fence and mow

and to the park with pink ball gloves and bats they all go

I love having the excuse to buy adorable clothes

knowing each one will wear them as the other girl grows

I love being at Disneyland and standing in only one line

as the princesses are all that we have to find

I love when they all dance and play house and color

it would have to be more balanced if they had a brother

of course there is emotion and drama to spare

and extra time spent every morning on hair

But with it comes in-home slumber parties of three

with nightgowns, nail polish and small cups of tea

And giggles and squeals and lots of affection

coordinating Christmas dresses and great purse collection!

I love that one day they will all have each other

to stand beside at their weddings to watch each become mothers

I love having all girls...I truly do

and to Jesus who chose this for me, I simply say, Thank you!
