This day, four years ago, my husband and I were blessed with our precious baby girl, Catherine Grace.  When I look back to that day, I remember it like it was yesterday – that feeling of overwhelming joy!  Our beautiful Catie, so full of energy and spunk yet so sweet and loving, turns four years old today!   She is our entertainer for sure – readily willing to sing (in its entirety) “Delta Dawn” or “On the Way to Cape May” or “You Are My Sunshing” or “Wild Thing” or any other song she has grown to love.  She LOVES to sing!  And she loves to dance too.  Although, I frequently compare her dancing talent to that of Mary Catherine Gallagher.  But she loves it and it makes her happy.  And that’s what matters.  And to top it all off, and make a great day even more special, Denise from Matilda Jane Clothing posted Catie’s picture on her blog today.  What a great birthday surprise!  I am so honored!!!   (click here http://matildajaneblog.com/ ) for the Matilda Jane blog.  You may have to scroll down to today’s date (March 22nd) to see Catie’s picture).  And when I tuck her in at night, and listen silently as she says her bedtime prayers, I can’t help but get a tear in my eye as my heart overflows with thankfulness for this little beauty.  We are so very proud of her, our tiny baby that has grown into such an amazing and adorable little girl. 

Happy 4th Birthday Catie!  And thank you for the most wonderful 4 years of “my” life!  I love you and ‘you are my sunshine’!
