Ben Folds' song lyrics are always a bit quirky which is probably why we like them so much. The title of our blog comes from "What you got in the box only Gracie knows".
I decided that this was absolutely perfect because as Matt and I start gearing up to raise a little girl I realize there are going to be so many moments when the only thing we really know is that we love her. In the beginning we may not know how to do the little things like change diapers and bathe her. As she grows we may not know exactly how to react in a sticky situation or how to discipline her so that she begins to learn right from wrong. We may not know how to send her off to college without being completely afraid of what the big bad world has in store for her. But, in everything, Gracie will know that we love her, unconditionally. She will know that we pray for her daily and that the God we serve loves her even more than we do.
One thing Matt and I are excited about is getting to see the world through Gracie's eyes. I think that as we grow up a lot of the simple things in life start to lose their excitement. Seeing simple things like zoo animals, flowers blooming and bubbles through Gracie's eyes will be so amazing.
Only Gracie knows what things she will cherish most in life. And only God knows what road her life will take. That makes me happy. :)
