5 Years Ago...

...at 5:54am, my life changed forever. My priorities were shifted around, my life was turned upside-down, and my heart began to grow outside of my body. I gave birth to a beautiful little girl and we named her Katelyn Elizabeth. Katelyn immediately became a wonderful addition to our life. She has spent the last 5 years growing and learning, and getting ready for the biggest step in her life - starting kindergarten!

I hope that you all enjoyed the photographic walk back down memory lane as much as I did!!! I find it so hard to believe that the little baby in the first picture (the one that I wasn't even sure how to care for!!!) has learned to walk, to talk, her colors, to count, to read, to do math, to love science, to negotiate, to do monkey bars, to make her own PB&J sandwiches, and to bring joy to everyone she comes into contact with. Katelyn has a heart of gold and is always there to give a hug to anyone in need. She and her sister have developed an extremely close bond since Abby was born and Katelyn is always looking out for her sister's best interest. 

I'm going to have to wrap this up now, as we have a birthday celebration to kick off, but I wanted to just take a moment to share with you that my baby girl is now 5 years old!!!!

All my love,
