Hau'oli La Hanau, e Malia
The little girl in the middle transformed into a 6-year-old yesterday.
Just like that.
Didn't even check with me to make sure it was okay.
(If she had, I probably wouldn't have signed off on it.)
But it happens anyway--surely, and more swiftly than I could
have ever imagined.
With each milestone, I am excited for her, proud of her,
and keenly aware of the fact that
I will never pass this way again.
She and her sisters have been joy unimaginable,
and the best is yet to come.

Indeed.

Love it while you have it (them).
Awwwwe.... I hope you print this out and save it for her. You totally made me tear up. :)
Happy Happy Birthday Malia!! Such a great picture of these three beauties!
DoRe' - Here is another, crazy way that our lives intersect.
My youngest daughter turned 9 on Sept 17th.
Seriously - what are the chances? Quite good, I suppose, since it happened, but still...
Happy belated birthday to your littlest - that picture is just PRECIOUS! Love it!
Hugs,
Michelle
ps - my littlest guy just turned 7 on August 31. He didn't consult me either. I would have denied that request too!
