Happy Birthday to my beautiful Hannah Bea. It’s crazy to think it’s been 8 years since you were born — I am the luckiest Mommy in the world to have you.

I don’t know about you but I still can’t believe I am a Mother. Time stopped in my mind sometime in my 20s so when I stop and think about my daughter, first born, being 8 – it is almost unfathomable in one regard. In the other, I can’t imagine her not even being in my life. I don’t remember life without her.

She makes my life so much more fun – spontaneous – meaningful.  I have learned so much from her and have gotten more frustrated from her than I can remember ever being. She is my daughter after all…she’s funny, precocious, sweet, smart, talented, inquisitive and full of wonder. She helped me realize how much I love being around kids.  Her middle name was my Grandma Bea’s name and she was a firecracker — just like Hannah.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH BEA!
