I have been a mommy for six years now

It's a little hard to believe, but this one is now six:

This morning, we had a Princesses in Pajamas eating Pancakes and getting Pedicures party.

With some help, I painted ten little girls' worth of toe-piggies:

They were too tiny for most of the little nail decals:

I'm not entirely sure I have an attractive side, but I am pretty sure this is not it:

By the time this picture was taken, she was a little tired of standing and grinning for the paparazzi.

I would like to point out that this picture features all three of my children, close to each other, looking the same direction with no one crying. If we ignore for a moment that my red-eye feature doesn't seem to be working on my photo editing software, I think we can all appreciate the wonder that is this photo:

Speaking of appreciating wonders, I would like to pause and brag about the cake I made:

I made some gluten-free, casein-free cupcakes for Charlie and one of the mamas there.

Happy birthday, sweet girl!

Wow, I remember when Dowlan called me while I was driving to that awful teaching job in Houston, to tell me not that you had given birth, but that you were in labor :)

I remember Bryan calling me after I had made it to school to let me know that Melody was here. I also remember talking to you later that day and the smile which spread across my face as I heard the joy in your voice.

I cannot believe it has been six years. Even though my own four almost five year old girl came home and told me it was the BEST PARTY EVER, MOM, I NEED A PEDICURE PARTY, I guess part of me will always see them as our baby girls.

Great party and great job, Mom! :-)
