Its hard to believe that 5 years ago today our little Alex joined our family. At the time things were a little crazy. We had just bought our house months before. I had just finished remodeling the bathroom and kitchen and I was in grad school at Penn State.
Alex joined us in hurry. From start to finish she was here in less than 3 hours time.
At year one Alex’s personality was already coming through.
At year two, Alex had become quite the active little kid. She loved her Little Einsteins and her Rocket toy was her most cherished of treasures.
By age three Kate had joined our ranks. Alex adapted to the role of big sister quickly. As her hair grew in (finally) the true nature of her curls revealed themselves.
At four Alex had transitioned from the Little Einsteins to princess and fairy. She loved going to preschool and doing real kid things. After all, she was all grown up.
Now here we are. Five years later. We’ve taken over 10,000 pictures since then. We’ve been to Florida, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Washington DC, New York City, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Disney World (yes, that gets its own mention).
Alex loves to sing and dance. She loves to dress up. She loves her barbies and princess toys. She loves playing the iPad and Kinect on Xbox. She loves being a big sister.
This coming year Alex will be going to Kindergarten. Its hard to believe really. Alex, we love you and wish you a happy birthday!
