Suddenly 7!

Seven!  

Wow! I don't think I'll ever stop believing how fast time passes

when you think about your children!  Some days you think, 

"this is never going to end... " and then you blink, and you have 

this beautiful, young lady in front of you.  First grade, tall, and so 

intelligent... It takes me by surprise!

We celebrated a bit on Sunday with family, and then again yesterday

just the 4 of us... but for now, I wanted to share a few pictures I took 

of Lila.  Somedays I look at her, and my heart aches because she's so

pretty.  Am I biased?  I may be a little bit... but for all her silliness, and

that crazy, gap-tooth smile... I can't help think she's one of the most beautiful

little girls I've ever seen!

Lila, You are such a source of happiness to me and Daddy!

Elaina loves you and looks up to you so much, even when she is being

a total punk.  You are full of creative energy, smiles and giggles, and

I love the emotional passion in you, (even though it's not always well

controlled).  We love you more and more with every passing year

and I'm so proud of the little lady you are turning into!!!

Hooray for 7!!!
