8 short years ago, everything changed when a new lady came into our lives

Remember the day my only daughter was born? No? Well, luckily, there’s a post for that.

Why do I mention it?  Well, today is her big day; It’s the Princess Puddinette’s birthday.  And while it’s hard to believe she was born only 8 short years ago, it’s not hard to think of all they ways our lives have been brightened by the sweet little girl who never met a camera she couldn’t strike a pose for (see above).

Sure, being 8 going-on-28 means every day is fraught with enough potential melodrama to rival a daytime soap opera, but it’s rare that my little girl doesn’t have a warm smile on her face. She’s smart, caring, already obsessed with shoes (even if she never, ever puts them away), and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Happy birthday, Princess!

Now, please, promise me you won’t grow up too fast.

Daddy
