Saturday, November 21, 2009 we were blessed to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the birth of my niece Stella Lauren London Marchiano. She turned 4 on Saturday, and man can I say those four years flew by. I still remember the false alarms, the all day in the waiting room with countless friends and family eating chinese food on the floor, and then hearing the beautiful scream of a gorgeous baby girl. I have never been so in love with one little girl before. She has made our life so complete and so utterly amazing. How can there be so much love and energy pouring out of one little person? She is such a girly girl, while still being the tough tomboy. She can kick your butt if you mess with her. She will make you feel as if you are the greatest person alive, and that she wouldn't want to be anywhere else when she's with you. She is probably the girl I am most threatened by when it comes to my man. She loves Scott. She has this masterful way of flirting but acting innocent in the process (which I mean who can blame a girl, especially since she's mastered it already). She is a 16 year old trapped in a 4 year olds body. She still blows my mind with the conversations that she can carry and the amount of retention she has. I am so incredibly blessed to not only know her but get to be called Auntie. My sister made such a beautiful, incredible, amazing person, and for that my sister is GREAT. She has been such an amazing mother through all the trials in her life. She always puts Stell first and that is why that little girl is who she is. I love them both.
