Can she really be F.I.V.E. already???


I know I've said this before, but I really can't believe how fast my children are growing.  I actually don't like it much at all.  I tell my kids almost everyday to quit growing, but like expected, they tell me NO WAY mom.  I just don't understand why they can't stay little forever????  It seems like everytime I turn around they're all growing up.  And this is true for even Miss A.  She turned 5 on March 12th and she likes to remind me of that EVERYDAY!!!  She gets (with much dread from her mommy) to start kindergarten this year.  She is sooooo excited to FINALLY get to go to school like her big sister.  This little girl came into the world with quite an entrance and she's kept us on our toes every day since.  There is NEVER a dull moment with Miss A in our lives.  In honor of her 5th birthday.....F.I.V.E. things we love about her the most.


-  Her imagination keeps us all entertained and we're sure she'll conquer the world with her creativity.
-  She is ALWAYS willing to share with anyone/everyone.
-  Her contagious laugh melts our h.e.a.r.t.s. :)
-  She can not help but sing and dance when music is played.  She really just feels music and it makes her really happy!!!!
-  Oh my, those freckled cheeks and green eyes.  I mean, what else can you say?!?!

S.E.V.E.N. years ago today.....

I know E.X.A.C.T.L.Y. what I was doing seven years ago today!!!!!  I was meeting this little girl for the VERY first time.  She was such a miracle to us.  We had waited so long for her to join our family and we couldn't have been more thrilled to see her.


I can't believe {7} short years later....she now is this girl:


I don't know where my baby girl went.  She has been such a joy to have in our family, and we would NOT be complete without her.  We are so happy everyday that she is in our lives.  Everyday is packed full of life and enjoyment with this great big sister. 

SEVEN things we love about Miss J:

She has the m.o.s.t. sensitive heart ever.  She actually will cry when her sisters get in trouble. 
* She really wants to do what's right
* Her smile and excitement about life can light up a room!
* Her beautiful red hair, bright blue eyes, and freckled cheeks make our heart smile.
* She is ALWAYS willing to help anyone, ANYTIME!!!
* Her love of learning and curiosity for everything around her.
* Her genuine love of others and her amazingly sweet spirit.

We love you Miss J and are SOOOO happy you chose us to be your family!!!!

P.S.  I actually did this post ON her birthday, I just forgot to hit publish :)
