Happy 5th Birthday Clara

Okay, so I know I got super carried away. Each time I've done this I've started small and got bigger and bigger. It's hard with Clara because we had a digital camera when she was little so we have more pictures of her when she was young.

Clara is such a joy in our life. I have to admit when I found out I was pregnant with her I cried.....a lot. I didn't want to be pregnant or on bed rest or to have to take care of 4 kids. All my fears went away when I met this little girl. She's easy going and patient. She listens so well and is the first of all my kids to do something just because she knows it will make me happy. Her brothers and sister spoil her and she knows she can get away with just about anything. I am so grateful she is here with us. Our life wouldn't be any easier if we didn't have her in fact I think it's a lot easier because we do.
