Five is a huge milestone. It feels big. I can’t believe my BABY is growing up. I know by now that I can’t stop the clock, time is a thief and I’ll forever be in the struggle of missing who they were and loving who they are becoming. That’s just the way life works. Those of you snuggling newborns right now will get it one day, hold them tight… and welcome to the slow letting go.

For Chloe’s birthday this year, we had a joint princess party with a sweet friend who has a birthday just days apart. We did this when Hannah turned five and it was a blast! I am so excited that we got to celebrate with so many of her sweet friends. I brought out the big camera and captured a few photos of the special day!
