the year in pictures

vague title, isn't it. you didn't know what i might be up to. lately, i can't get over how much my girls are changing...like daily looking different. ok maybe daily is a bit of a stretch for hadley and audrey but not mallory. they change and grow so stinking fast!

so as the biggest birthday of all, her first one, approaches i wanted to put 12 months of changing faces in one place for me to stare at. and i know you grandparents will sit and stare too. for the rest of you...just gratuitious pictures of my sweet baby girl!

black and white doesn't do most of these pictures justice; have you seen her blue/gray eyes? mesmerizing. i know i am her mother and all but this is my first blue eyed baby and they are the color that hadley and audrey had as newborns; slate... watch her be one of those babies that changes eye color at 2 years old! for now, though, i am mesmerized by those baby blues.

  

  

  

  

  

  

and by the looks of that last picture, it is high time to put a bow in someone's hair!

happy birthday sweet girl

how did my sweet and fabulous first born turn 5?  it must have been while i wasn't looking...which is one of the better things that happens around here while i have my back turned.  only the good Lord really knows what those two are really up to when i am not looking.  she has a huge heart and wears it all on her sleeve; it will be the life and death of that little red head.  i am so proud of you hadley and can't wait to see what God has in store for you.  i had no idea how you would change my life and i know you will continue to amaze me.  i love you hadley hoo!

hate i've been such a stranger...just realized i haven't posted since november.  that is just kind of sad...things are busy around here! but i will try to play catch up a bit; i was just looking at one of the "recent posts" (from our beach trip last fall so it isn't exactly recent!) but my how my girls are growing....definitely need to catch up!  mallory turns 1 in less than two weeks so i have some sewing up my sleeve and enough things to keep me busy but i will have to add the blog to my "to do list" and see what ground i can make up.  much love and HAPPY EASTER!
