Today, JULY 23rd, is my beautiful, sweet, precious little green eyed baby girls birthday!! {How is that for adjective overload} Indulge me this little trip down memory lane:)
It all started with a little angel named Anna. She was born in Phoenix, AZ in the middle of July and it was 116* the day she was born {per the baby book} coming in at 8 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. Her mommy was in labor FOREVER because she was so comphy she just didn't want to come out...but eventually she did and on this day...A FUTURE STAR WAS BORN!!!
Here on the beach {our favorite place} in the fall of 2003!
Then...in 2005 Anna got a brand new baby brother named Aaron:) She wasn't so sure at first but they became best friends!
Anna loves the beach and her mommy used to take her and her brother to Bradenton Beach almost every weekend when they lived in Tampa.
Early on {at about 2 1/2} Anna started to sing with mommy in the car. Her favorite song to sing was Shine On by Rascal Flatts:) I used to say that was my song for my babies:) She still plans to be on American Idol one day!!
During the summer of 2006 Anna, her brother, and of course mommy moved back to Carolina and soon Anna discovered the world of Dance!!
We had to be careful when we had garage sales because Anna would go shopping through her old stuff before the shoppers could!
I LOVE this picture of Anna on one of our comping trips to MB state park before we moved to Tallahassee, FL in 2007. My baby loves the beach like her Mama:)
Then in 2008...SURPRISE...Another baby brother. When we went for the ultrasound to find out the gender she sat there with her legs, arms & eyes crossed hoping for a sister....but once she got her hands on him it was love at first sight:)
Party time at Disney 2008...The personality is really starting to come out about this time
Beautiful flower girl for her Uncle David's wedding 2011...already such a beautiful young lady inside and out:)

So to my most cherished little girl and best friend Anna Perlman, Happy Birthday...I love you to the stars baby girl and I am so proud of the person you have become:) Love Mama!
