Ivy LaRue is 5 years old. Where did the time go? I can remember 5 years ago like it was yesterday. I will never forget getting that call from Steph that her water broke and the downpour outside on my way to her house 20 minutes away. I almost needed a boat to get there. Some roads were closed due to flooding, but I made my way and got there safely. When I arrived, Steph was so calm and had all kinds of munchies out on the counter in the kitchen. There was a Peace in the house. You would have never known a person was in Labor, about to deliver a baby. I can remember being so proud of how she handled everything and the calmness she had. It was one of the most magical nights of my life, watching and assisting with the Birth of my 2nd Grand-daughter...Home Births are Awesome! What an experience!
Here we are 5 years later and it's still fresh in my mind. I wasn't able to be with her physically on her Birthday, but was able to Skype and have some fun moments with her. I imagined being there to watch her blow out her 5 candles. The gift I mailed will be 1 day late and I know she will be so excited to open up the box.
I posted some favorite pictures throughout the 5 years. I hope Ivy realizes how special she is and how much she is loved by Mimi and Grampy. Happy Birthday Miss Ivy.
You are our Queen and we love you to the moon and back and back again a million times.
