SIX years

Carolyn's birthday fell over the weekend in between the movers packing up our house.  I can't believe that she is SIX!  She has been such a little trooper with this move.  Her school year runs until the end of June so the only major issue she has had has been leaving before their school field trip.  I lived in the same town my whole life so sometimes I feel guilty that she has to say goodbye to all of the great friends she has made this year.  But I know that she has seen more than the normal six year old and this move is only going to add to her character.

She is such a loving little girl.  She doesn't meet a stranger and her teachers say she is the one in her class who gets along with everyone and is concerned when another child is upset or in trouble.  My little peacemaker. She loves animals and what she would like most in the world is a dog of her own.  We have told her that she has to wait at least a couple more years.  Which her response is when I am a grown up can I get as many dogs as I want?



Since our house was full of boxes we told her that we would celebrate more when we got to Atlanta.  She was very excited about her new (some might say loud) sparkly shoes and tiny puppy that she wanted.



Last year Carolyn's hair caught on fire when she blew out her Birthday candles, which explains her look of fear in this picture.



She was very happy that she was able to do it this year with all her hair intact.
