Introduction

Do you ever get the feeling that you don't deserve what has been given to you? I do. I wonder how in the world God could have looked past all my shortcomings and the mistakes I've made and still give me such a wonderful gift--my amazing Grace. I have a daughter. Her name is Grace, I thought it was fitting. Grace has amazed me from the moment I saw her little heartbeat for the first time. She amazed me when I felt her little kicks. She amazed me when I saw her so clearly through the ultrasound. And she amazed me when the midwife first laid her on my chest. Grace was so perfect, she was amazing.

I realize most every parent thinks thier child is amazing, as it should be. However, I tend to believe that my Grace is especially so. I could be a bit biased, but I believe with all my heart that she is one of the smartest, funniest, most creative and innovative, beautiful little girls ever. And no one can convince me otherwise. Grace is always making me laugh. Somedays I've had it up to my ears with all the crazy antics she comes up with, but she never ceases to amaze me with her incredible imagination. She's pretty inventive for a 2 year old. And she's always coming up with something. There is never a dull day with my daughter. So, here begins the story of My Amazing Grace...
