Bittersweet Milestones...

The older our children get,
the more bittersweet milestones we encounter.
We had one last week.
It was bound to happen.
It was exciting
and, almost, dreaded at the same time (by Mama). ;o)


Our sweet Beth hungrily bit into her toast last week
and departed with a 5 year old friend...



Oh, how they grow so fast!

How Sweet! I know the feeling. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!! I love the new dresses and your "school" pictures as well. Very pretty. It makes me wish I could sew & take a decent photo. lol

Oh how sweet to be blogging this morning and see pictures of TWO girlie-girls with missing teeth - Beth and Mrs. C's Curly Girl!

So fun!!! Isaac now has two top teeth coming in and two bottom teeth coming in. What a little snaggle-tooth he is!!!

May God bless your day,
Alesha

Congratulations Beth! My little Marissa just lost her first two teeth on the same night a couple months ago:*( ~They sure do grow up so very fast. So far Maxwell is holding out for me! He doesn't even have a wiggly tooth yet ;).
