she's 17.

{happy birthday senna!}

Didn't she just turn 16?  Time goes by so quickly, in another short year she will be an adult... wow. Our little girl has really grown up, in many ways.  Being the only girl hasn't ever been easy for her, often feeling a bit left out when the boys are all together in another part of the house playing. AND now as she's gotten older and becoming closer with her brothers, sadly, she will soon be on her own, sigh. 

As I pour through all the photos Ive taken over the years, I look at those little faces and miss those kids... I miss their little voices, the endless giggles and all those silly conversations we used to have. But I'm also finding joy watching them grow into these amazing people. All with good hearts and loving souls. I like to think I had something to do with it, or at least helps support my extended breastfeeding, always baby wearing, family-bed parenting!

...and now for some sister, brother silliness!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm proud of the young woman you've become.

Never lose that spirit! 

I love you baby girl.
