Happy Birthday!......

..........to my sweet Marlowe.  Two years ago today we were blessed with the best Christmas gift ever.....this precious baby girl who brings so many smiles and much laughter to our home.  She is the youngest of my three girls and the last baby for me so I'm a little tearful as I say good-bye today to the age 1 and officially enter the toddler years.  Being a mother truly is my greatest joy.


I love this quote by Toni Morrison:

Grown don't mean nothing to a mother.  A child is a child.  They get bigger, older, but grown?  What's that suppose to mean?  In my heart it don't mean a thing.  ~ Beloved, 1987

I think I'll always feel that way about my girls too.
