Happy Birthday Amanda!

Today was Amanda's 6th birthday.  Holy cow!  It's hard to believe she's been around for six years but even harder to remember what our lives were like without her.  She drives me crazy, but she is also the most snuggly mama's girl I've ever known.  This family would never be the same without her.

In celebration of her big day and because it is next to impossible to throw a summer birthday party, the whole family went to Water World today in her honor.  The girls and I went about a week ago for a Girl Scout event, but Charlie and Andy had never been.  We rode huge rides in big, family-sized inner tubes and we all had a blast.  We're hoping to have a real party for her in about a month (after she makes some friends at school), but if not I think she would still say her birthday was a success.

Happy Birthday baby girl!
