{my.happy.girl's.sixth.birthday}

Though I'm a day late, I wanted to make sure I honored my sweet, happy, loving, beautiful, kind, caring, in-her-own-world, not-in-a-hurry Delaney. Oh how we love that girl to pieces. Her beautiful smile can absolutely and completely light up an entire room - no, an entire house - and you just can't help but smile back. She loves to love so if you're within 10 feet from her, you're likely to receive at least a hug. Ask the lady at Wendy's. Doesn't matter who you are. And I just love that. Because I have never seen Delaney act differently because someone is different from her. How much I can learn from her and her big old six year old heart! Delaney has slowed me down a TON, as I'm always hurrying from one place to the next. Not my Delaney. And now that her shoes light up, the pace is all the slower. (Thanks, Grammy, for those "Twinkle Toes.") We always say that "Delaney World" must be a wonderful place because she visits there often and can, well, appear rather blond. Take for instance our drop off at school the other morning. As she's smiling and telling us goodbye and she loves us at the top of her lungs, WHAM, she runs right into a brick wall. That's Delaney. And we wouldn't change a thing. I love you, little one. Happy sixth birthday. (Are you SURE you want to be six??)
