Big Girl Now...

My baby girl turns...

today....

I'm a crazy mixture of excited and sad. I know everyone says this, but why do they have to grow up?? It seems like just yesterday I was cuddling her chunky body and nuzzling her bald, peach-fuzz head. *sigh* We can't win can we? We always push our kids to learn the next thing, eat solids, roll over, potty train(Aubrey's SO not on board with this)....Guess we have ourselves to blame when we look back and wonder where the time has gone!

Aubrey is such an amazing girl, smart beyond her years, and one of the funniest kids I've ever known. I know that I'm a little biased, but her comedic timing is bang on. We'll say something and she has a witty retort in seconds! LOVE that about her! She's a beautiful girl inside and out and I feel so blessed to call her my daughter. I'm thankful every day that the Lord chose to bless us with her and pray that the years to come with her are just as amazing.

In other news, we found a place to live in Georgia!!! SO excited! The one thing that I'm sad about...other than moving away from great friends and an awesome church....the backyard with the house is small:( BUT we HAVE a backyard...all to ourselves!! YAY!!
I'm done my traveling for now and will back to my regular blogging tomorrow:)

Ugh. Jen---I know. Looking at Cobs now, nearly 7 years on..........and I can totally remember having him, and just him. It is amazing being able to witness their little ( and in our cases, BIG) personalities coming out too. BUT, this is why you need to have another one. To get over your baby urges, and give the not-so-little Aub-meist a playmate. Life, as you know it, will become busier, but you won't need to be the one doing all the entertaining. This I LOVE!! X X
