She.....

is still a little girl....


thinks she wants to be 15 .....



thinks so, until she loses a tooth and tells me, "Daddy was right! It's not fun to get old!"

is a bit irritating when she HAS to have these shoes - and then refuses to wear them b/c they rub....

amazes me with her maternal instinct....


is a little sister who has never ONCE complained about going to her big brother's baseball games ....

is fun to be around - and people like to play with her ...







is stylish .....

is a really good singer - and a perfect entertainer for a willing audience....

is learning how to be a hostess - and it thrills my heart when she gets snacks/apetizers out for guests and refills them when they are gone ....

is helplessly in love with her daddy ....

is a mini version of her mommy ....(so I'm told)

A.C. at 5 years old

me at 5 years old

is beautiful every single day ....

took my breath away last night in her first official ballet recital.....






was a natural and wasn't nervous at all ....

was excited about wearing make up (REAL makeup - not the dress up kind)....

grew 2 inches when she saw her brother there, that he had made it from his playoff baseball game to see her dance ....

smiled from ear to ear when her friends and family greeted her with more flowers than a 5 year old could hold.....



went to sleep last night with a vase of flowers in her room - with a smile that was still there when i went to check on her before i turned in myself.....

Heather,

I celebrate this little bright star, as bright as her namesake. She is beautiful, radiantly beautiful. She *glows* just like her mother. Did you know that you *glow* you always have.

If your children are a measure of their parents, you and Tommy have hit 2 grand slams.

Love you lady!
Bek

Mary - although I think she is fun and cute and all that, you can take her anytime you like! We may or may not take her back at some point! :)
