My Baby Girl is FOUR!!!

I can't even believe this! Where did the last four years go? Looking through all of her pictures and trying to pick out just ten of them was not an easy task. First of all, I actually ended up with twelve but the rollercoaster of emotions this day has brought is just a little too much for me. Instead of going over each picture with a cute caption, I'm just going include lyrics to the song I used to sing to her when she was a baby, You Are The Love of My Life by Sammy Kershaw.


You are the love of my life,
And you are the reason I'm alive.
And baby, baby, baby
When I think of how you saved me,
I go crazy.

I've never known love like this
And it fills me with a new tenderness

And I know, I know, I know
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're all I can't resist


And I need to tell you
The first time I held you
I knew you are the love of my life

I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating, until you.


I was lost so deep inside my shell
'til you came and saved me from myself.
Now all I really know is
I need you.

And you are the love of my life
All the joy and tears that I cry

And baby, baby, baby
You don't have to say a word
I see it in your eyes


As we stand together
I promise forever
'til the day that I die
You are the love of my life.


I spent a lifetime waiting
Always hesitating until you
I was lost so deep inside my shell
'til you came and saved me from myself.


Now all I really know is
I need you.

You are the love of my life.
You are the reason I'm alive.

Anyone else of a big ol' lump in their throat? Just me? Okay. I'm off to find the tissue box.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET PEA! WE LOVE YOU!!
