Delaney Turns 7

Sarah and I both look forward to these interviews each year with each kid.  Not only to chuckle and laugh at some of their answers, but to compare their answers from past years to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.  It is also a subtle reminder of how fast life passes by.  It feels like just yesterday that Sarah and I were in high school, graduating collage, getting married, and now here we are, with three daughters.  Wow, its just crazy.  It makes you really just sit back and cherish the memories and enjoy every moment. 

 

Delaney is now officially 7 and is becoming her own person.  She is the most caring and open minded little girl I know.  She has a heart of gold and a spunk that is second to none.  This year she started playing coach pitch softball and is the youngest girl on her team, not to mention the smallest.  This year, we spent her birthday in Wisconsin Dells at Noah's Ark and did her interview before bed on our patio, which is pretty evident in some of her answers in this years interview.  Here are her previous years interviews for comparison.

This year Maya turns 8!  The best part of it all is now Maya no longer needs to sit in a booster seat in the car.  She can now sit anywhere in a vehicle.  Its the little things like that, that once you're a parent become big accomplishments.  Maya continues to grow and be a caring, loving, and hardworking girl.  She loves reading, riding her bike, and playing with her best friends.  I seriously look forward to doing these interviews with each of the girls every year.  And now next year, Harper gets to start doing them!  You can click the links below for the past 3 interviews with Maya.

Maya Turns 7

 

Maya's birthday is today, October 13th, she's turning 7 this year.  She continues to amaze Sarah and I every single day with how she continues to mature and grow.  Over the last year, she has continued to become a "little mother."  Especially with Harper's recent health issue.  Maya acts as though she is about 3-5 years older.  She is loving, caring, and always looking to help, no matter how small.  This year, ever since Delaney's birthday (June), Maya has been asking to do her birthday interview.  This has become a neat tradition for our family and a fun way to watch how our kids grow and change over the years.

Delaney Turns 5

I say it every year, but it holds true.... I can not believe my daughter is turning 5 today.  Delaney is our little girl and most likely always will be.  She is full of love and is such a caring friend to anyone.  Delaney is the type of kid who has absolutely zero "stranger-danger" and everyone is a friend.  She has a heart that is too big, if that is a possible fault.  She is a joy to watch grow and at times I forget that she is getting so old, since she is such a small-fry.  She has an imagination that is second to none, along with the love for performing.  Even with her tender heart, she can really test our tempers.  Happy Birthday to the one and only Delaney!!!

Delaney Turns 4

I am almost positive I say it every year, with every birthday, but I can't believe Delaney is already 4.  This year is a special birthday for me.  It is the first year that I am off of work, not only on her birthday, but the days before and after it.  Normally, I am stuck working Country USA, which always falls on her birthday.  I have always felt guilty working on her birthday, but never more will I have to work out at Country USA.  In fact, Delaney was even born during the festival, which pulled me away from the festival that night.  Delaney is the most selfless, caring, and passionate little girls I know.  She is a spunky, quirky, and energetic kid, who simply loves the art of music, dance, and acting.  It never ceases to amaze me how many songs this kid knows all the words to and how she can act out entire scenes from movies with ease.  She is truly one of a kind!
