Ode to the 3 year old.

Hard to believe that 3 years ago today I got to hold my sweet little Marin in my arms for the first time. So I thought I would hold back my tears and put a few of my personal favorite pictures of Marin up. Here's looking at you kid! All folded inside a bowl, a big bowl but a bowl none the less.

When you have a little girl you have to rock the GIANT bows and flowers I think it is required for sure! She is 2 weeks old in these pictures.

My incredibly happy 6 month old. These pictures would break my heart but I have a happy 8 month old to give me my baby fix!

Again another requirement. Naked and a tutu.

That ever so hard first birthday! Gotta love that she knew what to do when you asked her how old she was, foot in the cake and everything!

Mark let me buy this dress as long as I got her picture taken in it. No complaints here! You will notice she has a fancy dress in all her yearly pictures now...I blame Mark. : ) With no complaints on my part.
2 years...oh it seems like it was just yesterday HA! (Fancy dress 2)

Not wanting to disappoint the statement of terrible 2 in this picture Mark is standing behind the door so she wouldn't scream her head off. Cute none the less.


Oh and the 3 year old (fancy dress 3)

I could not have asked for a sweeter, more kind, loving, and smart little girl. If I am only blessed to have one little girl I sure got a great one! Happy Birthday Marin!
