  1. Oh she is beautiful. It's so poignant to see the passage of time in these photos.

    And I can't believe she can do that Irish dance. Did you teach her that? I've seen that done and it is amazing.

    What a D elightful post!

    A+ for you and a hug for your beautiful daughter!

  2. You have a lovely daughter! They grow up too quickly don't they? Mone is almost 30!

    I love Irish step dancing. My sister-in-law was born in Ireland ( Co. Cork) and I've visited Ireland many times with her.

  13. She is beautiful. It's amazing to look over and realize that the little bundle of joy you brought home is now a young woman. Mine is 21 and it seems like she grew up in a flash. Lovely photos, the shot of her in the field of daisies is just wonderful. Beautiful post! Kathy

  14. What a delightful post today! And what a charming daughter you have. It was amazing watching her grow up right before our eyes. I love the photo of her as a little girl with a few daisies...what beautiful eyes she has! How did she become interested in the Irish dancing? Is it part of your heritage?

  22. Thanks for stopping by. I've always assumed that all state Capitols have domes because hot air rises ..... Kathy

  23. Those are lovely photos and your daughter is just beautiful.

  24. Thanks for stopping by and sharing memories with me today! I LOVED the peppermint story! I laughed and laughed...certainly a birthday to remember!

    I also really liked the idea of the brownie making at Christmas time, using Christmas tree cookie cutter! It just so happens that I teach a small class of 4-5 year old kids in Sunday School. I'd love to do that with them this coming Christmas! One little girl in particular is enamored with icing anyway...so if we were to throw in candy for the tree decorations she'd be overjoyed beyond words! :-)

    I think that is so neat that your daughter learned to do the Irish dancing with it being part of her heritage.

    Again...thanks for stopping by today. It brightened my day. My husband shoveled out 15 more inches of snow that had fallen since yesterday when he shoveled out the same paths. A week ago when this snow first started it was fun being snow bound...not finding the humor in it quite as quickly today. ;)

  40. How sweet! She's beautiful! There is nothing more special than the momma/ daughter relationship (well & of course momma/son)~smile~ How amazing that she does Irish dancing. My mom & I pretend to do Irish step dancing when we are feeling blue. I say pretend because we obviously can't--so it just end's up looking hilarious and cracking us up. Lol!
