Sabrina's 4th Birthday!

Four years ago this morning, Sabrina was born 40 hours after I was induced and eventually had a C-Section. In some ways, that just seems like yesterday. She has become an amazing little girl who enjoys life to the fullest. Here is a photo from the day she was born and celebrating her 4th birthday over the past weekend.

Conversations with a 4 year old

I was tucking Sabrina into bed when she asked for a story. I told her that I would tell her a story but wouldn't read a book as she had wanted to play hide and seek rather than have a story.
Sabrina: "Tell me a Jesus story. The garden one."
Angela: "When Jesus is praying in the garden?"
Sabrina: "Yes."
So, I tell her about Jesus praying, Judas and the soldiers arresting Jesus and beating him up.
Sabrina: "Don't forget about them putting his feet on the cross."

It is amazing what children remember and learn. It is so true that children have an innocent faith regarding Jesus and His amazing love.


Earlier in the evening, we played hide and seek this evening. I was hiding under the stairs in the storage room and Sabrina had finished counting.
Sabrina: "Mommy, I know you are up stairs." She goes up the stairs and looks around. Then hollers. "Mommy, where are you?" I wait it out as Sabrina has a tendency to give up looking quickly. She comes downstairs and looks around quickly. Then she asks Scott, "Daddy, where is Mommy?"

Scott: "She has to be somewhere in the house. Where did you look?"
Sabrina: "I think she is upstairs."  As they are looking in closets, etc,
Scott: "Do you think Mommy is in here?"
Sabrina: "No, Mommy has big arms and legs."

Childhood Memories

I haven't kept up with daily photos but have taken several a week. This one is from last night. Sabrina is transferring the items from her pink/yellow purse to the blue bag. The blue bag was made by my mother for me when I was about Sabrina's age.

Day 8 of Project 365

These photos were taken last evening (Jan 08, 2011). I t had snowed all day and there was wind too creating lots of snow drifts. 

Day 7 of Project 365

I have included two photos today to give you the full perspective. Sabrina and I went to get our hair cut today. The hair dresser also put Sabrina's hair up in a "pony" which is a treat for her. I am not very good putting in pony tails or other hair accessories as I only had long hair as an adult for a couple of years. Sabrina is loving having her in a pony.

Day 6 of Project 365

This photo was taken last night (Jan. 6, 2011) but I forgot to download and place it on the blog. Sabrina and I are playing Barbie dolls. The doll I am holding is the one I had as a child. The Barbie case, cloths and accessories are also mine.

Day 5 of Project 365

Sabrina loves to take photos and was using my camera when she asked me to take a photo of her with her special baby.
