We have almost lived in our house for 6 years. Labor Day weekend will mark the anniversary of our move-in date. There are some shrubs in the backyard that were already planted when we moved in. One of these never bloomed. We actually never even knew it was supposed to bloom. We just thought it was a lovely shade of green that added some height to the flower beds. Then in August of 2007, delicate, pink flowers popped out all over it. They were so lovely. This was about two weeks before Leila born. Now it blooms each August, just in time for her birthday parties, which are always in our backyard. We call it "Leila's Flowers". Each year, when I spot the first bloom, I remember that summer of 2007 when we were blessed with our baby girl.
She really can't be called a baby girl anymore....the BIG 3-year-old!
Leila at 2.
Boo turns 1.
On her BIRTH day. August 20, 2007...just in time to see those flowers in our backyard.
