Princess Butterfly at Five

Earlier this month, my very special Princess Butterfly had a "milestone" birthday: No 5!

While it is still difficult for me to grasp that it has been five years since she progressed from her birth date

to her first year milestone

to her second year, here with Sweet Momma M,

to her third year, shades posted perkily over her cap brim,

to her fourth year,

and now, finally to her FIFTH year, waiting to open her birthday gifts,

the fact is that this particular milestone has now come and gone.  Princess Butterfly - not one for stillness - is rapidly moving on to the next.

May she always find life to be as gentle and as good!
