HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
IRENE!!
She's my first born...and I need a hug. It's happening to me. I'm growing old and very sentimental just for the day! hehehehehe My baby....!?!?turns forty?!?! Uh-uh! I just can't believe this...it's happened. I've become a mother of a woman who's 4 decades wise, and she, in my mind, is still my baby in diapers. My little Irish lassie!! It seems so long ago, yet it also seems like just yesterday I held her in my arms, bringing her home from the hospital and nurturing her and saying to myself how unbelievably perfect she was/and still is! I created a human being from my womb. Now...she's my adult daughter. But in my eyes she'll always be my first baby...my first offspring created from love.

Where are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around and you're two, turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Pigtails and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're the young girl going out of the door
Where are you going, my little one, little one
Where are you going, my ba-by, my own?

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your daughter! :o)
ReplyDeleteA happy birthday to Irene !
ReplyDeleteI think all mothers have this feeling, for us they will always remain our little children. My son turns 36 this year in August, that doesn't make me younger either, lol !
Nice findings for U and V !
Your daughter is beautiful! Time flies too quickly. My oldest turned 30 this year and that was a real blow to me so I can only imagine.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Irene! :)
Happy Birthday to your dear daughter.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Irene!! and to you, too, Anni ::handing out tissues::
ReplyDeleteLove the poem, or is it a song? except for the "going out of my door" part...
Great finds for the letter meme! and your firefox ad-on works wonderfully, thanks so much for the tip!!
Happy Birthday!! :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI feel quite the same and my oldest is only 14! A magical WW to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to both of you!!
happy birthday to your little girl. Love your alphabet photos too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful daughter you have. Happy 40th Birthday to her.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post you did for her, thank you for sharing with all of us.
Anni,
ReplyDeleteMichelle turned 40 in February, so I can relate. It seems like yesterday that we were watching their first steps, yet at the same time it seems so long ago.
Happy Birthday to Irene. I hope she has a wonderful day and many more happy years.
You did a great job wit "U" and "V." I don't think I'd have done near so well.
Have a great day.
Blessings,
Mary
Huh, I turned 44 yesterday. And like you, my mom doesn't look old enough to have a kid that old.
ReplyDeletePlease wish her a happy birthday for me!
Happy birthday to your daughter! Great job with your letters.
ReplyDeleteYessssss, finally Blogger is behaving for me...for the last couple of days no pictures would load on any of the blogs and it's so hard to comment on the pictures when I couldn't see any! lol Today everything is normal again. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Irene, she sure looks like you, Anni, beautiful! Wow, you ARE old! hehe Just teasing you my friend. I remember when Shawn turned 30, omigosh I felt so old. How does she feel about being an April Fool's baby??? I have a good friend whose birthday is today as well:-)
Great job on finding the U and V...I always shake my head at where you find these letters! lol Smarty pants!!! xoxo
aaaah, wish your daughter the very happiest of birthdays from me please. mmm, my mom always said one starts feeling the years when one watches one children growing up. damn, was she right!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday to your daughter!
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful woman, Anni. A big Happy Birth day to her and a huge hug for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It's amazing how time passes so quickly yet we all still feel the same age inside. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOpps that was me, Laura... from the view from our house. Signed in as another name.
ReplyDeletelovely - and happy birthday to your baby girl!
ReplyDeleteOh! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Irene!!! Wow! I took it hard when Amanda hit 30... I can't imagine doing 40! And it's only 8 years away... I best start preparing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your U today! So simple! But what a GREAT choice! And a perfect V too! Anni, I so love that you have found EVERY letter right within your own home! I just LOVE that!
Wow, forty years of parenting wisdom. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. No matter how much we love them as adults, they are always our babies. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWell, those are great finds for the U and V!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteAaaah! Happy Birthday to your BABY!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Irene. My dad just turned 50 and had a hard time with it. I reminded him that he is his mom's baby so imagine how she feels! Happy WW thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteA big happy birthday to your daughter! Although my daughter is still only 4, it really does seem as if time does fly by!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet poem!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Irene. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy dad said it was harder on his psyche when I turned 40 than when he turned 60. Happy Birthday, Irene!!
ReplyDeleteHugs. I swear i clicked over thinking you were telling us YOU were forty!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it all girl!
Happy Birthday Irene!
ReplyDeleteAnnie your letters are really perfect! I have to echo Melli in that you haven't looked far to find them - makes it looks effortless!
Sweet, sweet post. HB to your little girl. ♥♥♥
ReplyDelete40. Yes. A real milestone for her and for you. My "baby boy" turned 36 same day. (my oldest is 42, so I'm right there with you on this!) The years are flying by far too fast.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a happy day togather. Beautiful poem beautiful daughter and Mom!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet but just a little hard for a mother of a 17 year old, 21 month old and 5 month old to read... You mean they really do get older?? I am soooo not ready for that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you baby girl :)
ReplyDeleteI turned 40 last year and it's been a hoot!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I missed your sweet daughters birthday, hope she had a very nice one. Kids grow so fast.
