Petals & Putters: She's 'FORE'!

People keep asking me if I can believe M1 is four. I guess I can't decide...I can vividly remember the day she was born and it seems like yesterday. At the same time it seems like SO long ago considering all that's happened in 4 years. I guess it's bittersweet to see your kids growing up. I'm so thankful that she's healthy and growing like she should, but I can see why people wish they would stay little 'forever'. I just love to see her growing and getting smarter by the day. She can identify all the alphabet letters, write her name (it's a long one!), and she knows all the letter sounds. As a teacher, I'm obviously proud. :) I already have a few things in mind to work on during the summer...poor girl. Ha!

Now to the good stuff... We had a GREAT party this past weekend for our birthday girl. It was actually more of a birthday WEEKEND than just a birthDAY, and it was perfect! For some reason I love birthdays. I think I remember how special I felt when I was little, and I want the same for my girls. On Friday M1 took sherbet cups and cute little butterfly treats to daycare. On Saturday we went out for breakfast (her idea) and then gave her a present every few hours - it was fun! She officially has a 'big girl' bike and she officially doesn't love it. :( Her little bird legs just aren't strong enough to keep her going. :) And on Sunday we had the big party - golf themed, since she's 'fore'! We feel so blessed that most of our family and friends are able to come to the parties. It wouldn't be the same without them.
