Fabulously Four

Maeve marched into our lives four years ago and changed us all for the better. We look at her now and still see glimpses of that golden haired baby that boldly made her fast and furious entrance during a snowstorm. She is just as sweet as she is stubborn, and just as smart as she is beautiful. And now she is fabulously four!

An early morning birthday celebration

Our Blue-Eyed Baby Girl

Already 4 Candles

She is our princess in every way- the only grand girl on either side and can get just about anyone to do exactly as she pleases. So, when asked about a party, she very quickly responded, "a princess one."

Cinderella and Snow White 

This Stephen Curtis Chapman song reminds me so much of our Maeve at this point:

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying, "Dad, I need you
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing, oh please, daddy, please"

So I will dance with Cinderella (or Snow White in our case!) while she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella, I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight and she'll be gone

We are basking in the innocence of her being four and holding on to each moment of her royal ball of childhood. We love you, Maevey!
