When I was a kid I remember having a vacation planned and the time it took to get to the day to leave seemed like FOREVER! Summer was wonderful and long, after school started it took eons to get to Christmas break, and you felt like your birthday was just never going to happen. I remember complaining and my mom saying, "Someday time will go by so fast you won't remember last week." I always thought she was crazy....until now.
As I sit at work and painstakingly watch the clock tick, every second seemingly an hour, I think, geez this day is never going to end. But it's 2011 folks. And I can't remember where last year went. I can't remember what it was like 9 years ago sitting in a hospital room waiting for my life to change. I mean, sure, I remember (74 hours of labor makes an impression) but I hardly remember the sleepless nights, the dirty diapers, all the firsts that came along. I look back at these pictures and I am SO grateful to have them. Looking at them I can remember a moment at least and I'm surprised by how detailed my memories are of some random picture I took, while I was sitting on the couch, years ago.
Here are more of my darling little girl. As we count down the days to "9" I will share with my favorite pictures of her through the years...

| Why do kids love playing in cabinets? I remember liking it to. I used to climb into my toy box. I guess it's just some quirky thing with kiddos! |
 |
| This was Daddy's 24th birthday. Lilly was sick but still kooky enough to make faces with Daddy! |
 |
| Here they are again. There are probably 10-15 of these in the series. |
 |
| Not happy that I was putting the pony tails in her hair. She still cries if you pull her hair! |
 |
| This kind of joy can not be matched - hers or ours! |
 |
| Very first step. Freedom at last! |
 |
| Can't wait for senior slideshow - she is going to HATE us! |
