Four....

Four year olds have dance recitals. Saoirse would have loved being in a dance recital.

Happy Fourth Birthday Saoirse - I hope you are dancing today and every day.

Mother's Day...

Family

We are a family of four that looks like three,
My mommy, my daddy, my sister and me.
If you look at our portrait, just three you will see,
No sister in sight, just mom dad and me. 

But if you look closer, just past my head,
you will see a little something fluffy and red.
It's not a new blanket, that stays in my bed,
It's Elmo, in place of my sister instead. 

If you ask mom how it feels to be a new mother,
She'll stop, and smile and remember another.
Then tell you her story, which is unlike any other,
For Saoirse made her mom, and I'm the LITTLE brother.
