Carlie is 6 (again)!

Today we celebrated Carlie's 6th birthday...for the third time. With her birthday falling shortly after Christmas (Dec 30), I tend to "over do" it so it is not lost in the shuffle of the holidays. Now this does not fair well for Jeff and I financially, but I hope some day Carlie remembers it. Next year we may opt for the "family" or "friends" birthday option. She is getting to that age. Hard to believe six years ago I was just home from the hospital with a 2 week old. I don't necessarily miss the baby phase, but I miss my babies being babies. Carlie wasn't necessarily an easy baby either. God makes mommies forget about the bad stuff..I know he does. Or else there would be no second, third or fourth children in families. God blessed us with Carlie, and there isn't a day that goes by I don't thank him for that special miracle. I think I'll go upstairs and kiss her goodnight...again.
