Growing up


So Hannah turned 5! I can't believe she is getting so big!! Birthdays always make me think of how special each life is. I LOVE making someone's day super special. For her birthday I let her choose what she wanted to do. So here is what she chose:

We slept in. Then we went to see Gnomeo and Juliet. As we were leaving (we were in a huge hurry to get to her dr appointment), she stopped at the photo booth and said "Mommy don't you at least want to take a picture with me" And of course I love photo booths and pictures of us so I risked being late to enjoy a moment. We still made it to the dr on time. And NO SHOTS!! Hannah was pumped. She is very healthy and doing great. Then we went to get pampered by getting our nails done. Hannah had so much fun!!

Here is the nail design she chose



A late lunch at Taco Bell. Hannah's favorite restaurant. She then wanted to get her hair cut. We finished off at Starbucks and had coffee/hot chocolate and talked. She is my sweet girl and so much fun to be with. It was the best day ever. She said so!!

So for the last week I've been focused on how things have change in my life in the past years. Its amazing how much time and God can heal your heart. Today at church we talked about having a strong foundation in Christ. And even though I know it, it was a small epiphany about how I use to be and far I've come and how I don't want to go back to old habits. I guess Hannah isn't the only one growing up!!

I love this time of year. It's a season of new beginnings and of new growth. What a beautiful day and wonderful week. I am excited to see what this new season of life with bring!!
