Happy Sixth Birthday, Zoë!

Well, it only took me nearly two months to finally post these pictures. I put them on my web site-- as opposed to my blog, which is really all about me and not my children, or is it about them? At any rate, you can watch a captioned slide show, or you can click on thumbnails at the bottom to open pictures in larger format in a new window. I'll try to see if I can get some movies posted (if there are any decent ones).

It's so hard for me to remember Zoë is Six now. My little baby is all grown up, but just as full of fun, light, laughter, and life as she was when she was born. I get frustrated by her self defeatism (currently with reading), but she's so amazing when she catches on to something (swimming, bike riding, tying her shoes). I love how she is social, but enjoys her quiet time, too. I am grateful for her empathy, her love to serve me and others to make us happy. I know I'm her mom, but I also think she is beautiful- shiny honey hair, sparkling blue eyes, and clothes look good on her.

I love you, my growing girl, my oldest daughter, my sweet girl, my Zoë.
