FOUR

this little beach baby turned FOUR.

FOUR.....  really?

four seems so big to me.

and it's so hard to believe.

willa....  you light up our lives.

you are so full of sunshine.  

your eyes shine so bright.

it is so fun to watch you grow.

you have such a giving, kind heart.

you are a tiny as ever.

still wear a two.

but you have a big heart and a big soul.

you love to laugh.

and dance.

and sing.

you are the best big sister.

i can hardly wait to see you as a big sis again.

my Godmother sent me a message yesterday...

she said something that really hit me.

"happy four year anniversary on becoming a mother."

a mother.  four years ago this little lady made me a mother.

she made me who i am today.

i couldn't be more proud to be her (their) mother.

and on top of it to be expecting ANOTHER!

a true blessing.

i love you baby.

{you will always be my baby.}

happy happy birthday love.

{ok, so the only updated photos i had were from the beach in august... where the kids insisted on taking off their clothes to swim in the super warm gulf at sunset...  it was a magical evening...}
