Happy Birthday Taylor

Today my baby turned 8! Taylor is such a sweet child who minds. She is the one who with only a look will start doing the right thing (while the other 2 take a "harder" discipline). She is compassionate. She is loving. She is beautiful both inside and out. She is so many things. I had really meant to sit down and think hard about what I wanted to write but didn't do that, too many other things going on today :) I have a journal going for each kids that I write in about once a month sometimes more if there is something important to say and I will write in it lots of stuff. My kiddos will get their journal when they turn 18 and can read how I felt while they were growing up. So I think I will leave the mushy stuff to that journal and leave this post at that. So here is Taylor 8 yrs ago and today! I have better pics of her the day she was born but they are before the "digital age" and therefore packed in boxes in a climate controlled storage unit with all our other belongings (I was not about to go digging for them b/c I wouldn't know where to begin that search). So I am relying on Nana's pictures. The quality of the picture isn't that great b/c I had to take "pics" of the pictures.



























Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

(I know that the pictures aren't arranged too nicely but I don't have alot of time to fix it b/c I am trying to get ready for a slumber party Friday night with six 8 yr olds, pack Madison for a overnight trip to Nana and Pops on Friday night and finish a scrapbook I am making for Amy's baby shower on Saturday afternoon....AARGH! What was I thinking?)
