i feel like i’m jumping into the middle of life to stop in here real quick. we have way to much catching up to do.
we will go back and fill in things like christmas & vacations & texas & new years & life – but tonight we’re going to give a little press to dolly.
she turned 5 today. i’m sure when she turned one i thought the whole ‘i can’t believe she’s one already’ thoughts.
but i honestly don’t remember thinking that when she turned 2 or three or 4 – those ages just seemed appropriate & she fit into them nicely – but 5!
oh my …..
5 is like half way through kid age, like she’s well on her way to 10 now : ) i know huh, i don’t overreact or anything.
she’s beautiful, our dolly. she likes fancy & flair & zebra stripes. she’s dramatic & emotional & slightly irrational.
we made muffins & read stories, we got the oil changed & picked out party plates, we went to the library & at fish tacos. she got a bike & a booster seat.
i was going to take her picture along this great white wall by the library ….. and she sat there all darling & smiling & my battery was dead.
and then tonight when i decided her candle blowing out needed more than just phone pictures i went & got a little point & shoot in my purse and after one blurry picture that battery died too.
she sat super excited waiting while rex wheeled in her bike.
so this is what we have ….. instagram snaps of her lighted birthday brownies, her happy birthday song & her blowing out her candles.happy birthday dolls, i love you.
we’ll be back soon : )

I’m so glad you have Dolly some press! She’s precious. Sorry about your battery. That sometimes happens to me, too. That, or I forget to put my card back in my camera.
Five is a great age, but such a milestone! My oldest just turned 16, my older daughter had her 13th, and my son had his 10th. All very disturbing. LOL
Blessings to you!
happy birthday to dear lovely molly…and her mother.
