happy six, baby.
My baby girl. six. {sigh}
Every year we sneak away one evening for a little birthday photo fun. I look forward to that uninterrupted time alone that seems so rare these days. Six seems to old to me for this tiny little body…yet fits so perfect with her twirling, giggling, belly laughing ways.
Our sweet (and spicy) little Jule. Oh, do you make our house fun and full! You are our drama queen, mischievous leader, and the keeper of all rules. You adore your big sister and baby brother…and this year…you’ve embraced your spot in the middle with open arms. You’re eager to learn and try new things (and to do them better than anyone else). You live each day straddling the fence between reality and make believe. I’ll never forget the night you asked to pray before dinner. “Thank you Jesus for Mommy and Daddy…Anna and Baby Sam…(and then in a hushed voice)…make me FLY!!” I pray that you will always have so much faith in God to do the impossible in your life. I’m praying you always DREAM BIG and have the hope and perseverance to go after those dreams. I’m daily amazed by how those tiny fingers have such dexterity on your violin. And how focused and mature you can be at the drop of a hat…only to quickly be bounding back into the world of fairies and twillerbees. You are the world champion snuggler and have the uncanny ability to turn my day around with a simple bear hug. You love knock knock jokes and do the heartiest belly laugh I’ve ever heard come out of a little girl. You snore like a lumber jack and dance like a feather. You are a complete joy.
I hope your birthday is the Happiest of Days.
I thank God every day that I get to be your mommy.
And even though this year you drew all over the inside of my car with ball point pen…I love you dearly.
Some day you’ll be “too old” to steal away for birthday pictures…so I’m going to savor the moment now.
Promise me you’ll always keep that willing smile. It will take you far in life.
Throw in that silly spunk we all adore and you’ll always find a reason to be happy.
But as you grow…just promise…to always be my baby.
Happy Birthday, Jules.

Two things… LOVE her outfit….1. is that an MJ dress….if so… I am kicking myself for not ordering that to go with Sophia’s green shirt!!!! and 2. every time I see her hair….I want to cut mine just like it….but somehow… I don’t think it would look that adorable on me:) She is just precious!!!!!
