Addie's Big Day

Today was a big day for our little girl! Not only was Addie a flower girl for the first time, but she also got her hair cut for the first time too (see post below)!
What a great day it was! Though hot, we all had a great time. It was a privilege to be part of such a delightful wedding. Both the bride (Addie's Sunday School teacher), and her sweet groom had such nice families and we enjoyed getting to know them. Due to this whole experience, Greg and I had the realization of how short-lived our time with our children really is. Addie looked so grown-up in the fancy dress with her hair done- that was bad enough! But also, we listened to these parents reminisce about the memories of their children growing up. It all suddenly seemed so brief! So we just soaked it all in and enjoyed every minute.

Here is Addie with the beautiful bride.
... and twirling with the bride.
A little moment with the ring bearer, Ryan. These two really hit it off! Several times Ryan gently put his hand up and cradled Addie's cheek. She told him she loved him. He told her he was beautiful. There was a LOT of love.
Having a great time before the wedding!

The pictures are all amazing! What a beautiful little girl you guys have!
And I can totally relate to the feeling of fleeting childhood. I always experience that at weddings and graduations when the parents wonder where the time went.
