Happy 11th Birthday, Taylor Grace!

I was chatting with a friend the other day, and I said: 

If I really let myself feel all the feels through life ~ 

all the emotions when I walk past baby aisles, 

or when I find a book I used to read to the girls when they were tiny.

When I think of the fact that my oldest will be 20 this year, 

and my second oldest is officially a Senior in high school; 

and when I catch a glimpse of old photographs marking, what seem to be, a much simpler time.  

If I stopped to fully let those emotions wash over me ~

I don't think I'd ever stop crying.  

There are so many moments in time that I miss so much it physically hurts.

So when it's time to celebrate another birthday, it's definitely bittersweet.

Today, Taylor turns 11. 

My youngest baby girl.

And if truth be told, she's kind of 11 going on 25. 

Because ever since she's been born, she's tried to keep up with her older sisters.

{And also because she's taller than me, but whatever}

Happy Birthday, Taylor Grace!!

Tay-Tay, you are such a vibrant, passionate spirit!

You are a hard worker. I can always count on you to pitch in.

You have care and concern for others, and love to help out with the animals.

You always have the best ideas, and make each day a joy!

Happy Birthday Darling Girl!
