Happy Birthday Cienna!!!


WOW! Time really does have a way of sneaking up on you. I can't believe my BABY is 4 years old today. It is so easy to recall this day 4 years ago... sitting in a hospital, holding my baby girl, hoping and wishing everything for her!

Now look where we are... I have an almost completely independent preschooler who doesn't like to snuggle and would rather play with friends then her mommy. :( On the bright side... she is so full of energy and spunk and life. Cienna can make you feel so special with just one little smile. She has a way with people that make them fall instantly in love with her. I am not sure how she does it, but she can make a total stranger feel like they are so important in her life... they probably are and I just don't know how to piece it all together. I have never seen a child that can make your want to cry and laugh all within 1 minute of each other. For those of you who know Cienna, you know exactly what I am talking about. And for those of you who don't know her, you are seriously missing out on one INCREDIBLE little girl!!!

Here are some small, but beautiful moments in my little one's life.
