Happy birthday sweet Camille. It's hard to believe its been a year. I've pondered lately on what each of my girls have taught me about life. I think Camille has taught me joy. I can be uptight as a Mom sometimes. I want things done my way- behavior, attitude, appearance. The longer I am a Mommy the more I learn about what to let go and what is really important to me. Of course I still expect a lot, but I've learned to breath a more and let life flow a little more. Camille is full of love. She smiles easily. Laughs often. She makes people happy when they pass her in the grocery store with her loud & energetic, "HI!" She has taught me that sometimes the most important thing in the whole wide world is whatever she is doing. No phone, no Facebook, no e-mail. In the moment. She is a JOY.
When Todd and I were considering having a fourth, we were all kinds of uncertain. Originally we decided that maybe we'd only have 3, but I just couldn't shake the thought that maybe 4 would be better. It's what we had always said we wanted...and it does make a nice even number. I'm grateful that the Lord knew what He was doing when He placed Camille in our family. She is a perfect blend of cute, fun, and happy. We are blessed to have her in our family and celebrate her sweetness today!
PS I know I am missing several faces in the pictures below. This is why *I* like taking the pictures- because no one sends me pictures of them.
