5 years

Today is my daughters birthday. She is 5 years old. Wow. Wow. What an amazing big little person she has become. In the scheme of things, 5 years is not a lot of time, but so much life and love has been packed into getting to know this little girl. Guiding her, learning from her, but, mostly just trying to keep her safe and letting her be. I still like to gaze at her little face while she is sleeping. I know now that will never change. Over the weekend, the rain cleared and the sun came out. Balloons appeared and kids with smiles came in droves. Ready to party. It's so joyous to celebrate the life of a 5 year old. Don't need much, really. Just the essentials: A disco ball, good music, lots of wigs, some feathers, rainbow cake and sparkly drinks for all... Oh, Happy Day.

  1. Oh what a cool cool day. She is a girl! In her honor I am watching "Howell's Moving Castle". Beautiful photo diary, Audrey! Missing all of you. xxShel
