Sunday Best

I've been slowly going through closets doing spring cleaning. 

A little bit here and there, not a complete overhaul. (I get easily sidetracked into different projects)

I was sorting out the girl's closet and came across the sunflower dresses

hanging in the back.  Looking at the tags I was shocked to discover that

Lil Miss and Gigi are at the same size Rosie and Gigi were 3 years ago.

Crazy!!!

So I put the dresses in the front among all their other clothes to be worn soon.

Well of course Gigi, my little dress wearer, saw the new (not new just recently placed in a spot she

could see) dress on the hangar and had to wear it right away.

On Sunday for church we put on the pretty sunflower dresses Kathy and I bought years ago and

they looked so adorable.  The girls were twirling around in the living room dancing to

no music.  It's funny how a girl can just put on a dress

and feel like a princess!

We didn't want Rosie to feel left out, so I pulled a coordinating dress out of the closet for her and we

had the girls all beautiful in yellow. 

I didn't think about Bubba feeling left out. 

So he rushed upstairs and had to be properly dressed to, of course.....  in a tie. 

Off to church we went as a family, very well dressed.    

{3 years ago }

To me it is surreal to have Lil Miss in the same size my baby Gigi was when she first walked

into my life.  I can hardly fathom how they are growing up so fast!!!

Way too fast!!

Rosie in three years has grown into such a little lady and Gigi has lost all the babyness to her. 

Lots of tears.  Can they just stay this small forever?

My how you have grown

 

I know my daughter has grown. 

Nothing is more evident than all the pants that are too short. 

But as I went into the basement to get the girls for supper I happened upon this. 

A fun game of Dr.  They were playing with Lil Miss's new Dr. kit and taking turns getting broken arms.

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up she does say a doctor so I am very proud. 

She at one time wanted to be a firetruck.  Not a fireman a FireTRUCK.  Now we encourage our children to be anything they want to be.  But we did have to burst her bubble in trying to be a 3 ton vehicle that has wheels.  Bubble Buster. :-(

She looked so cute today in her Dr. jacket that I just had to snap a pic. 

{today}

It's her Dr. jacket from 3 1/2 years ago. 

The sleeves are now 3/4 length and the buttons barely button. 

One of the first gifts she was given from one of Nate's cousin. (thanks Dan and Linda!)

It has gotten some great use.

Can't believe how grown up that girl looks. 

And how much her hair has grown!!!!
