The 4th and Four

Pin the Star on the Flag

First Embroidery Project!


My daughter turned Four this July 4th and it feels like she is so big! The night before her birthday I was telling her the story of my labor and her birth at our home. I told her how I would put my hands on my belly and think about the type of child I hoped to have. Looking at her now, a great big 4 yr old, I see a girl who is kind and creative. Funny and silly and a great singer/dancer. I see the daughter who is exactly the type of person who I think will create change in the world just by being the light and bright compassionate being that she is. She is a girl who knows the power of the words she speaks, and often times already knows to think before she uses them.
I couldn't ask for a better daughter, or friend.
Happy Birthday, Big girl!
