Yes - My baby is SIX years old. And as our babies continue to grow right out from under us - we parents mull the same question over & over: Where has the time gone? Lydia - our two year old - is in this pretty/frilly/princess phase where every outfit she wears HAS to be a dress paired with sparkly shoes. (Tonight she was actually in tears, fearful that she might not have a clean dress to wear tomorrow... ) See - this was my Eden... oh, about 3 years ago: sweet smelling, bouncy curls in the summer humidity, princess dresses with dazzling shoes. Now, she's traded all that in for t-shirts flip flops, ball gloves & baseball caps, girlfriends & slumber parties, etc. (Soon it will be BOYS!! Yikes!) Gosh - they really do grow up fast. But, in the midst of all the changes/struggles/joys Eden's encountered over these past six years - I will continue to love & admire every phase of her life as if it's the most important thing in the world - because that's what she is to me. Happy Birthday, my Beautiful Baby Girl.
We had the party this past weekend at Mom & Dad's in Piper... It's more of a central location for everyone - & the kids love the yard/trees & animals. These are a few of my favorite candid shots... There's a good chance I'm going to have to make this a double blog entry!
Lydia & Aunt Ami were among the first to test out the new tree swing!
Harper got in on the action, too... with an upside down bat! She had a blast, though. Just look at that face!
Never too busy for a "bumpa" snuggle. ♥
The birthday girl! Think she's having fun?? I do
