*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but that just can't seem keep our mouths shut about it(them). If you'd like to play along, post a photo on your blog, and let the words roll. Feel free to "capture" my 7 Clown Circus button on the left to link back to me (or hyperlink), and be sure to add yourself to Mr. Linky. Thanks for playing along!
My second child just turned SEVEN. Seven. Seven. Seven. Silly Seven.
This post is about Emma. But it's also about me, because I swear I just blinked and almost a fifth of my life whizzed by.
And that makes me sad....yet happy at the same time. I've enjoyed watching Emma grow and develop more than words can express. It's been a wonderfully happy fifth of my life.
Thank goodness for memories. Family gathered together. Incredibly sweet, loving children... and SIL's willing to make the birthday cake to exact specifications so that mom doesn't have to.

Mine is turning eight in a few weeks. When I actually think about it, I'm stunned speechless.
My son turned 7 on the 15th and I just cried! I know everyone says they grow up so fast but it is so so so true!
Happy, Happy Birthday Emma!!! I love that sweet little girl. She looks so pleased in her pictures. Wow, are our babies that old? I am grateful for those seven years that we have been friends! Wish we lived in the same town again.
Give that little girl big hugs and kisses from me!

who ever said that kids could grow up so fast was so wrong. I would like to tell them a thing or two.
She is very cute, btw.

As wonderful as it is to watch our children grow -- it is so hard!
Happy Birtday Emma! I love the rainbow cake--I used to have a shirt just like it when I was a kid.
Congrats Mom! What a fantastic way to spend a fifth of your life.
(Is it wrong that I feel comforted by the fact we are the same age?)
Congrats to Emma on her 7th, and to you for getting her that far!!

My Sweetpea will be turning 2 in just over a month, I'm starting to think about what I want to do for her little family party, and wondering where the time has gone!
Happy Birthday!

I'm with you!!
Happy Birthday Emma!
Love the cake! Great pictures all meshed together :) Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday Emma!
It's amazing how quick they grow up. Funny how when you're a kid, time goes so slow, and then when you have kids yourself, it just flies by.
Your sister in law's cake is lovely too!
You know, I have a very handsome 7 year old boy at my house and if the next couple of seven year sets whiz by as fast as these have, maybe we should contact a match maker about these two...
Just sayin....
;o)
Blessings!
she's just beautiful... happy birthday, miss emma. how is it the kids keep getting older but we stay so young?
Emma looks like she had a great birthday! They do grow up so fast!

She's a beautiful little girl. Birthdays are so much fun at that age!
Happy Birthday, Emma! Time does fly way too quickly...bittersweet. She's a beauty!
It's always a bit sobering when you realize that as your kids get older, so do you.
But, it's always okay as long as the birthday cake is good!

Gonna join your WW next week - was featured on SITS this Wed, so couldn't join in the fun! Glad I found your site!
Hey Angie,
I just had to share something with you. As I sit here sick as a dog, barely able to move, and only able to sit at my computer long enough to check emails, these are the thoughts I have:
First of all Im thinking if someones else would follow my blog and get me off of that 66 number it would sure make me feel better. I think its the longest I have ever been on any one number and probably has something to do with me not blogging much lately due to my illness. I know its not the other number, you know the one with another 6 at the end of it, but to me it might as well be.
So I get one of your comments and I stop by (feeling bad enought that I havent been able to participate in your carnival) just to see how things are going for you and notice that our blog is now on your blog roll. It could have been there for weeks for all I know, but the important thing is that it is there. I am proud to be a daddy blogger, and even prouder to call you my friend.
Anyway, so I didnt get my 67th follower, but I did see that on your blog and it did put a smile on my face. Thanks Ang, your the best!
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Happy Birthday to your not-so-little girl! What a great cake! You were lucky to find someone "in house" to create it!
And those were cute jeans in the earlier post (can you tell I'm trying to catch up from vacation). And I think you always look so cute! : )
And I love the Peter Pan photos too!
Happy birthday to the prettiest redheaded 7 year old I "know."
p.s. Libbey turns 7 on the 31st. Sigh...
Happy Birthday big girl!!
