Beginning eight years ago yesterday, I was in a room at St. Luke's Hospital, working to meet my first child, a daughter named Alison Noelle. I continued to work to meet this child for 31 hours, finally bringing her into this world around 10:30pm the following night (8 years ago today). Never could I have imagined what kind of girl this baby would grow into. In front of me today I see a smart, creative, artistically bursting, curious, sensitive, caring, beautiful - and forever unique, eight year old little girl - and now can't imagine what kind of pre-teen, adolescent, young adult and adult she will grow into. I'm not one of those that likes to sugar coat the realities of parenting, it's not all pretty and fun - and I'll be one of the first to admit this and discuss it in full sarcastic detail- but it IS an amazing journey. My husband and I, WE, created this freckle-faced wonder.... and every so often it is so important stop "time" and remember, how blessed WE are to have created such an amazing human-being. I look forward to watching her grow over the next 8 years and 8 years after that....and 8 years after that....and....
Happy Birthday to the "first" inspiration behind MoeCakes, Moe herself.
