It’s so hard to find the words for this post.

Our amazing, sparky, funny little girl celebrated her 5th birthday on Saturday.

IMG_7019_edited-1I cannot quite come to grips with just how grown up this little poppet is.

IMG_7041_edited-1Every single day she amazes us.

She is bold and brave, funny and charming, wild and loud, cuddly and loving.

She is so many things…all of them wonderful.  It’s so difficult to find the words.

So I shall quote one of her little school friends.  A five year old boy with charm and wisdom far beyond his years.

He told his mother that he adores Button because “she lights up the world”.

I couldn’t agree more.  She lights up our world every second of the day.

      It’s flown! It’s nearly 4 years since she came home and a I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone by…yet I can’t imagine what our life was like before they came to us.
