Happy Six

Six doesn't sound that old to me, but I look at our birthday girl and see how tall she is and how much of a girl she is...wow, what a lot happens in six years! She loves her Barbies and dolls, she loves anything artsy and creative, and she definitely got both parents' love of reading. We are so very proud to be this little girl's parents - she is one of the very best gifts from God.

Isn't her shyness adorable?? She tries to never show too much emotion. Don't know where that comes from.

The Birthday Princess and her knight, St. George

She must think I'm a really boring dress-er.

Behind the book is a turquoise sweater over a pink sweater dress with a bright blue flower on it. It all matches the Legos marvelously. And the book's pages.

I read somewhere the other day that if you still pick out your kids' clothes after they are 4, you're a candidate for the classification Enabling Parent.

Perhaps she's planning ahead to work at the Dutch Village, since of course we all know that klompen require many pairs of socks.
