I remember when she told me she was pregnant. It was after church, the week before VBS, and she wanted me to know because it might affect how she was able to help me and the group that week. Her son was barely one. When I told my mom, she was so relieved that she didn't have to keep it a secret anymore! She'd known before me, but they weren't telling many people before they told their family. I remember my text tone going off at 5 AM saying, "please come". So I drove over to stay with your big brother while you were born. My mom and I brought him to see you when you were just a few hours old. He was more interested in seeing his mom than his new sister, but that was okay, because my mom and I were there to meet you. I remember how honored I was to be asked to be one of your godmothers. It was a role I was excited to get to play in your life. Sweet girl, I always knew you probably wouldn't live around here for your whole life; with your dad's job, that'd take a miracle. But I never dreamed I'd only get six months with you. This is so hard. Opal is such a happy baby. I like to say that she is in a constant state of surprise, because her eyes are always wide open and her brow is raised in little arches. Unlike her brother, who is super serious unless he's really excited, Opal is usually smiling and easy to make laugh.
These pictures don't really fully communicate that, as she is teething and she bumped her head so she was unhappy from that, but she is really one of the happiest babies I know and she's so photogenic. I love taking her pictures!
