Libby said, "Dance with me Daddy! C'mon you have to spin and spin"
This was followed by a "Dance with me Daddy," every time he even looked remotely close to slowing down.
Best moment of my week by far, except for when she looked at Maggie fussing and with a true to form Mommy face, said "Maggie, no fuss-a-fuss, no fuss-a-fuss-a-fuss."
Followed by uncontrolled giggling from both of my girls.
It's good to be 33. That is the age that I turned this week.
Being 33 is better than 23 b/c at 23 he lived there and I lived here.
At 23 they were what I hoped for one day and at 33 they are my everyday.
At 23 I thought about myself a lot more, at 33 I really want to serve others more.
At 23 I'm sure I went to a bar with friends to celebrate and at 33 I went to Cracker Barrel with my little family...and yes, that is much, much better b/c I'm sure that bar didn't serve biscuits and corn bread.
It's good to be 33.
Happy Saturday
Grace and Peace

Maaaaan! After you left on Thursday, I thought to myself "hey isn't Carlys birthday coming up?!" Sorry woman, Happy Birthday!!!
"At 23 they were what I hoped for one day and at 33 they are my everyday." Friend, you should go ahead and copyright that statement you made...that speaks to the very depths of every mommy. And isn't it amazing that the things we imagined at 23 are NOTHING compared to the blessings at 33?! (Okay, or for me a mere 30 :) Hehe. Happy Birthday. We will be in D.C. Sept 7-10 if we can figure out a time to get together?
I love this post! I second everything Lisa said.
And I love your Chevron pillows. Did you make them?
Hey Car,
What a precious, precious post of Kevin and the girls...and, YES, it IS better to be 33 than 23! How blessed are we!
I love you, my friend.

Happy birthday!
I love this post-- the simply purity of papa/daughter love and the wise reflections on what a decade brings (so true).
May the next decade be ever upward!
Looks like almost as much fun as the "Kitchen Rock!" Very cute!
The girls are getting so big!! Hoep you are doing well!!
How is your house so clean?
Great blog - but feels like a long time ago... a certain grandparent are not getting their prescribed fix!
