"Hannah, I'm 5 now. That's big."

Today we celebrate the little darlin who made her debut into the world, and made first-time parents out of us, 5 years ago. A bright-eyed, fussy newborn has bloomed into a precious little kindergartener, a very active and smart girl who loves to be a helper. How have five years come and gone?? 

The moment she woke up this morning she asked, "am I five?" And stood against me to measure how tall she was. She walked Bogey by herself around our cul de sac for the first time  this morning. I think she pretended I wasn't watching the whole time from the porch. 

Oh, my four sweet precious babies, my parenting has been very flawed, but I love you all so deeply and unconditionally!

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY CHARIS GIRL!
