Quinlin turns 5

My baby... is 5! I do not know where the time has gone. If you would have asked me if I ever wanted a daughter after having the to boys, I would have easily answered no. I was a boy mom for sure. Bows and dresses and frilly items and the thought of doing hair easily intimidated me. However, when I found out she was a girl, everything changed. I am so incredibly lucky and blessed that not only did I have a girl, I had her. She is the light of my life, the sunshine to my day, the smile at the end of a bad day, the laughter in the rain. She is my world.


I asked her the same questions I have been asking since she turned 3. Fun to look back on the changes of her answers, and some that I normally have reserved for Owen's quizzes which she wanted to answer as well.
