Vday dinner

I took you out to eat and celebrate and while coloring  your kids menu you break into deep thought and tell me that  you want to “snap-chat”.

You have been such a fun and loving little girl lately.  I love the growth of your thoughts and imagination and how your little stories  bring so much humor and color to our everyday conversations. Your energy brings me youth that I need to succumb life as a boring adult. 🙂

On a side note – This week I have been really impressed with your reading and writing skills.  You are able to focus, sound them out and put it all together. I was super surprised and am happy for your progress. I love you!

Love is wanting more for someone than they want for themselves.
You think you know how much you can love another person, and then you have a child. And then you realize, you didn’t know.
While I try to teach you all about life, you help teach me what life is all about.
Time will tell how much I love you.

As they say a picture has a thousand words. This one a perfect example.  A time to where we carried a heavy heart and needed a lot of strength.  The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another. You were the toughest of us all and showed us how to be a strong and joyful individual in time of need. 🙂

Time.

Time is valuable and has wings.  I never want to take our time together for granted and will try my best to never have any wasted opportunities.  You are growing so fast under our eyes and all I wish is to provide you all the support possible and just be there for you as much as I can. I count every day as a blessing and love every moment I have to share with you.

Starting to write

In such a short period of time you have greatly improved not only the legibility of your writing, but also the ability in writing full sentences.  I was super impressed and tried to motivate you to continue to write more.  I would only have to spell out specific words one time like f-a-r-m-e-r and you would remember without asking again!

Trolls

 

I can remember a long time ago before you were born catching a little girl sitting in a cart at Costco singing  Disney tunes.  It was so endearing and heartwarming that it made me hope that someday I could hear and share those types of moments with a child of my own. I cherish every single moment hearing you talk, play and sing.

Halloween – Mal from Descendants

First year in a new neighborhood. You were a little disappointed because the last few years have always been with Gavin and other kids. We were in a bit of a scramble trying to figure out what to do but I think at the very least we found a decent neighborhood in Rossmoor. I’m happy we went and that you got to go house to house even if was for only a short amount of time. Looking back I feel that was why you were acting mopey and sad during our time at the Cypress Halloween Festival. You have a hard time communicating your frustration and feelings.. I guess just like daddy…
