Audrey is 5!
















Princess Audrey turned 5 on October 18th. I cannot believe it has been five years! I was a little more nostalgic this year than I have been in the past because this year her birthday fell on Saturday - the day of the week on which she was born.

We celebrated her birthday on the 11th at Chuck E Cheese. Enjoy the pictures. She had a great time with her friends. She especially enjoyed Tanner, who she calls her brother. Sorry, Audrey, he is probably the closest you will get to having a sibling. The two of them are so sweet together.

She constantly amazes me with her questions about everything. "Is it still fall mommy?". She asks me this because she understands enough about time to know that winter comes after fall, and with winter comes Christmas. So, she keeps asking me this waiting for me to say "no" because she thinks that Christmas will be coming soon.

She likes to tell me, almost on a daily basis, all the things she will need when she starts kindergarten--as if I must go out and get these things right now so she'll be ready. She loves to talk about being a big girl, and all the things she will do when she grows up.

Growing up, which is happening too fast most days. I will be honest, some days not fast enough, but most days I can't believe my little girl is 5.

God-remind me to be thankful for her...even on the hard days, and to guide her in your truth and love.
