Wordless Wednesday: COLORS of Fall

A special feast day

Last week on October 1st, our sweet Rose celebrated her feast/name day - the feast of St. Therese of Lisieux.  She loves her saint and knows how blessed she is to be named after someone so special.  Her daddy even delivered ROSES to help shower her with her God's love.

This is a gift from my Little Flowers group from a couple years ago.  Always such a beautiful reminder of EACH one of us having a special purpose in life and no matter what we do - however big or how small - it all works out perfectly according to God's plan.

“I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would no longer be enamelled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our lord's living garden.”

~St. Therese of Lisieux

Here's just a peek at some of the fun memories we've had with you this past year...

 You weren't too sure about Pooh and Tigger - lol!....

But you loved the princess kisses!!!...

The Cat in the Hat was your favorite....

Even though your biggest brother played Horton the Elephant...

No surprise that you loved Gertrude and Mayzie...

You drew this picture of when I was pregnant with you.  

Love all the details....

And on the day of your 4th birthday, we took you to Build A Bear to make your very first teddy bear.  And because, they had a "buy your own bear for the price of your birthday age" (during your birthday month), Lady got a bear for only $2!  Rose got one too, because we couldn't pass up the "buy one get one half off", since her birthday is next month too.  Such a fun night!!   

Brushing time!!!   

Meet Kisses, Boomer Bear, and Bella Bear!!
