all she wants for christmas is her two front teeth...

She lost her two front teeth two consecutive days in a row! After she lost the first one, she cried and told me "Now I can never smile because I look so ugly".  It about broke my heart. I mean, she is only six years old. When my son lost his front teeth, he could have cared less. He was just excited for the money he would get from the tooth fairy! Of course the next day at school, a kid told her she needed braces. Sigh. The next day when she lost this one, she was a little more used to the idea. She still wasn't diggin' it though (as can plainly be seen from her expression in many of these photos). I may have bribed her to show her teeth for the picture. I think she looks pretty dang cute but she doesn't believe me!

She's growing up and it SCARES me to death!

almost one year ago...

Sigh...she has grown soooo much. It SCARES me how fast time is passing. In the chaos of learning to cope with having four kiddos last year, I'm realizing, as I go though my hard drive, that I took lots of pictures throughout the year and hardly even looked at them. I edited almost none. These are like new to me and I'm SO happy to have them.

PS  Can someone PLEASE stop time for me? Thanks.

what's more fun than a tub full of bubbles? umm...nothing!

And just when you think it can't be ANY more fun, baby sister crashes the party!

Don't you wish you were a kid again?

sister love

Found this while cleaning out files on my hard drive. It was over a year ago and I CANNOT believe how much they have changed. This is a serious gem and I'm not quite sure how I overlooked it! It must have been because of all the sleep deprivation and craziness that having a new baby brings!

beautiful in more ways than one...

She's smart, witty, thoughtful AND beautiful. Am I sounding like a proud momma or what?

happy easter...
