She's SEVEN!




 

Happy Birthday Norah Lynn



I just can't believe that my "baby" is 7!!! She's seeming so grown up these days and I don't think I'm ready for it. It really seems like yesterday that I was going into the hospital to be induced and finally meet her. So much has happened since then but it's just flown by so fast......time please SLOW down!

She's creative and crafty. She has a special little smile that I think she only shows me and her daddy! She can drive me nuts one minute and make my heart melt the next. She is sporty and sometimes sassy. She has a kind, loving heart and I am thankful for that. She has a shy side but once she knows you, you would never know. She is smart and learning new things at a quick pace, she reads and writes and does math! She just finished her 3rd soccer season and wants to give ballet another try! She is SO enjoying the fabulous weather we've been having and has a tan that I'm a little jealous of ;) And, she is gorgeous! Inside and out.

Last Sunday we celebrated her birthday with a backyard owl themed party(pictures coming soon). We had lots of family and friends join us, it was a really fun day! She deemed it her "best party ever". Just what this momma wanted to hear the next morning. Today her birthday celebration started with cinnamon rolls with candles and the happy birthday song for breakfast. Followed by a trip to the sprayground with our besties. We went home she played on her trampoline(her birthday present), spent some time getting wet on the slip n' slide that papa got her, had a bbq dinner with our favorite friends, went to see Brave and came home for ice cream sundaes and another round of the happy birthday song(thank you Newgards for celebrating with us today)!

Now she's fast asleep after her busy day, tomorrow she'll be 7 + 1 day and I'll be hoping for time to slow down just a bit and not let her continue to grow up so dang fast!

Mommy and Daddy love you to pieces baby girl.
