Happy Birthday

As I write this post Charlotte is dancing around our family room, holding a handful of fake flowers, spinning this way and that. It's strange to think that four years ago she was in my belly, not yet a true part of our life. It seems like that time has gone so quick, and yet, at the same time, I can't really remember what it's like not having her around. She's such a good little girl - compassionate, smart, fiesty and full of joy. She shares and nurtures and loves on other kids. She cheers me up if I'm down, 'helps' in any way she can and sings all the time. She's got all the good parts of Mark and I, and none of the bad (although give it some time and I'm sure some of those will come popping out too). She's soooo much better than what I imagined she'd be when we spent two years trying to conceive. She's just perfect for our family.

Happy Birthday to my Chuckles!!!!!

P.S. The photos are from when we roadtriped down to Georgia and met up with Katie Bower for some photos. Sorry it took me so long to getting around to sharing any!
