Tiff's Turn

How was your Easter? The Easter bunny came after church and was very good to Aria.  During church, Aria was a great baby. It doesn't take much to keep her happy, especially if someone is holding her.

After the birthday party was all over Saturday, it hit me. Aria is not a baby anymore.  This made me think of the Tim McGraw song, "My Little Girl", now her 1 year dedication song. Gotta hold on easy as I let you go Gonna tell you how much I love you Though you think you already know I remember I thought you looked like an angel Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm You've had me wrapped around your finger Since the day you were born You're beautiful baby from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know the road That'll lead you home again Go on, take on this whole world But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl When you were in trouble that crooked little smile Could melt my heart of stone Now look at you, I've turned around And you've almost grown Sometimes you're a
