Today is MWC's 5th birthday!!! I can't believe that our "baby" is 5 years old today!!! It just does not seem possible. I can't believe that 5 years ago today, God blessed me with one of the most precious things He has ever given me. I could go on and on about how special she is to me or how much I ADORE our little girl, but if you know me at all, you know how much I LOVE her. :) I really in truly can't put into words all the feelings and emotions I have felt this last couple of weeks knowing she is turning 5--"a whole hand old!" Happy because I love seeing the compassionate, smart, caring, fun, creative, imaginative little girl she is turning into--but also sad, because she is growing up and is becoming quite independent. :( I love being this little girl's mama---and can't wait to see what this next year holds for our special gift from God.
