L-O-V-E

I love this little girl so much! When I look at this picture... I get a flutter in my heart, a smile on my face, such amazing wonderful feelings, that I am her mother. A mom. Me. WOW. I am blessed. She completes me - truly - she does.

This morning we were driving to work/school, and I glanced at her in my rear view mirror. Her big brown eyes gazing out the window - smiling eyes she has.... and we played our NO SMILE game... which of course we were ALL SMILES! :) anyway... I love her more then I thought LOVE could be LOVED.

Time flies by too fast it seems... we've had a spectacular crazy jam packed of fun in the sun kinda wonderful summer... Just today I was thinking about this site.... how I've lost my BLOGGIN ways. I haven't stopped taking pictures, and I haven't stopped keeping in touch... just kinda stopped popping on here. I do want to start up again... and figured I would say hello. I'm back. :)

Hoping you all have that flutter and smile in your heart feeling every kinda day - someway - somehow.... the best kinda feeling when you feel that smile deep in your happy heart!!!

CHEERS & SMILES to you all!!!!

Fantastic At Four!!!!

One...Two...Three...Now FOUR!!! :)

My not so little Jolie is now 4 years old!!!! Can you believe it?!?! I surely can't. I'm in denial! She's growing up way too fast, I just want to stop time and love this age forever. She amazes and delights me every single day ~ her love for life, her curiousity, her amazement at the littlest of things, the joy she brings to Jim & I, to everyone around her, she is a happy go lucky little wonderful soul, and I am so proud to be her mother! I love her more then words could ever say, and you know I can say a lot!!!

Jolie's 4th birthday party was a blast! We had it at the Beverly YMCA Gymnasium, the kids got to tumble, jump, bounce and play (as did some of the adults). It was a tad overwhelming with 19 kids and 30 adults/teenagers!!! But it was so worth it as Jolie was just beaming the entire time, loving every bit of ALL of her friends mixed together and playing! After gymtime, we packed into their party room and enjoyed appetizers, pizza & yummy birthday cake! Jolie got spoiled with wonderful presents!!! I am a tad sad I didn't capture all the pics I would have liked to have taken, but watching jolie LOVE every bit of it was priceless and I'll never ever forget her fantastic 4th birthday!!!

Here are a few memories from her fun fourth birthday:

HAPPIEST 4th BIRTHDAY WISHES TO MY BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL JOLIE!!!!
