happy 5th birthday sweet girl!

For Amelia's actual birthday, we went to get mani/pedi's and lunch with our friends andrea and shelby! It was a great time, until we had to say good-bye. Andrea and Shelby were moving that night to florida!! We miss you already!

In our house on your birthday night you get funfetti cupcakes! here is amelia with hers! her dad bought her 2 books for her birthday, Ferdinand the bull and a book of fairy tales. She loves them both!

a tribute to my girl - who stole my heart the minute her's began to beat. i love you forever sweet girl .

I loved you from the very start,

You stole my breath, embraced my heart.

Our life together has just begun

You're part of me my little one.

As mother with child, each day I grew,

My mind was filled with thoughts of you.

I'd daydream of the things we'd share,

Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.

Like first steps and skinned knees,

Like bedtime stories and ABC's.

I thought of things you'd want to know,

Like how birds fly and flowers grow.

I thought of lessons I'd need to share,

Like standing tall and playing fair.

When I first saw your precious face,

I prayed your life be touched with grace.

I thanked the angels from above,

And promised you unending love.

Each night I lay you down to sleep,

I gently kiss your head and cheek.

I count your little fingers and toes;

I memorize your eyes and nose.

I linger at your nursery door,

Awed each day I love you more.

Through misty eyes, I dim the light,

I whisper, "I love you" every night.

I loved you from the very start,

You stole my breath, embraced my heart.

As mother and child our journeys begin,

My heart's yours forever little one.
