Happy Birthday to THE biggest baby we ever loved!!





10 lbs 15 oz...the biggest girl ever born in our hospital. The doctor had to hold you with two hands.
We found out 3 months later that your collar bone had been broken during delivery. Then we knew why you would cry everytime we put you down.  You didn't like to eat either and at 3 months old you were a skinny mini and for "some reason" the name screaming mimi was given to you.  You remind me a lot of our wild, blonde boy naughty and charming all at once. You have grown into a beautiful, warm- hearted woman and I can't believe that you were ours for a brief moment in time.  MOM

Birthdays are only dates that signify that another year of memories has gone by.  This birthday I remember a little girl who was barely tall enough to look in the top of her sisters dresser drawer and did...even though she was told not to touch her sisters things.  Her daddy spent about 15 minutes watching her pull things out, inspect them and carefully put them back.  This is the same little girl who grew up to be a mommy and stand in the doorway and watch her little boy go into his sister's dresser drawers and inspect things despite being told not to touch.  Birthdays bring back great memories.  I love you dolly.
Love Dad

AND SHE'S ONE!!!

For a long time there were only your footprints and laughter in our dreams and even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever.

A girl...

So Beautiful...

Our Princess all made up and ready to go to the Ball...

Happy, Happy Birthday...I can't believe you're one.
Thank you Jesus for pictures...Yes she is growing and I would say THRIVING!

Oh What a Busy Day!

My best little helper! She said she was making them oh SO shiny...


Boots for being in the yard...no one wanted to wear them...I want the ones with flowers.

The middle Rose enjoyed digging in the dirt and finding things for our fairy garden...Our wild blonde boy...not so much

He liked swinging with gampa and then they disappeared into the house and emptied the sink of bubbles...didn't get any photos of that :(

This is beer batter bread that the 2nd Rose made all by herself...she loved when it bubbled and the yeasty smell made her sigh and say it smelled so good!


Nothing like swinging on a beautiful day...

Doesn't he look important? And handsome in those boots?

Mary, Mary was not contrary and her garden is growing quite well thank you very much!

Love the blue ant...

She helped me arrange my yard art...

And threw the ball for Sargie poo poo...

Maybe that's why he didn't want to wear the boots?!

A Visit...We missed you so, so much!
