a beautiful little girl...

An awesome sister and a pretty cool dude...ingredients to a recipe of a beautiful little girl.  Mix those together with a pinch of love and bake in the oven for 9 months and the final product is you Nora Maise.  An Irish family giving birth to an Irish child on March 17th, a date known to many as St. Patty's day.  A day normally used to celebrate ours/yours Irish heritage over a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jameson.  The toasts will be replaced to give thanks to my beautiful niece Nora and for her gracing us with her presence on this other wise hectic earth.  The beauty of birth is that no matter what is going on with your life and the lives around you, no matter how bad you think it is, a child can make you forget about any problems you think you might have.  Yea all she does is sleep and cry but in time that shall pass.  She'll start to crawl and speak gibberish, then she'll learn to walk and count to 10.  She'll start going to school and get good grades, maybe play a sport or too.  She'll graduate and go to college, and meet her future husband at an 80's party and get married years down the road.  She will grow up to be the best little girl she can be and even a greater woman. Then its time for her to have a beautiful little girl herself, and the cycle continues way past our years of life, and we will never get to see the final product and future generations, but we will know they will be alright as long as love is flowing through their veins as they do my families.  Nora you are truly a blessing to the Yost and Powers family, and I can speak for myself, that you make it all better for me.  I have the most beautiful family a guy could ask for, and for those of you who know me, they are the most important aspect of my life. LOVE YOUR FAMILY, FOR THEY WERE THERE AT THE BEGINNING, AND THEY WILL BE THERE AT THE END...
