Nine………

It happened… our little girl turned 9! This March 3rd…
Every year… this dress… before it would puddle on the ground and I would look at that puddle and laugh,… she will never fit into this… and now it’s above her ankle… how?

so, could that golden light on that golden hair… get any more gorgeous! I love how her wild hair dances on the sun rays! It’s so her! she owns it! it’s so unique and so is she… 


This was a fun day! 9th time around the sun! can you imagine! Do you ever watch your kids sleep… studying their everything… their breath, their freckles, their long long legs that go on forever, the way they breathe when they are dreaming in a fast pattern… should you wake them up or let whatever they dream happen… 
I always study our girls the night before their birthdays… how much they have grown, I try to remember just how little they were… how they were smaller than their teddy bears that now they look like giants next to… This year while watching Isabelle I felt happy… I didn’t cry once… I like who she is becoming… a lot!
and I guess I will have to let her grow up beautifully…
