My big four year old!

Four years ago, my lulu made her appearance, in the midst of a tumultuous year for our family.  She spent three months in heaven with my grandpa Jex who had just passed away, and she arrived just before W quit his job and our quick move here to Arkansas.  It was a crazy and emotional time.  I often feel like I was cheated out of the newborn phase with this girl (and I have the lack of pictures to prove it!) but she's spent the last four years making up for it!

I treasure this girl! She is sweet and spunky and mellow and funny and so perfect for our family!

She was such a trooper to spend her birthday morning at her aunt's house while I worked.

That evening we had my family and some friends over for swimming, hot dogs and a "rose cake".

She was showered with delightful presents that she has had so much fun playing with this week!
