We were talking about her birthday earlier in the week, and I told her that turning 4 meant that she had been with Daddy and me for 4 years. She replied, "Well, about 25 or 28 years ago, I was with God; then one day, He just decided to put me in your tummy." She kills me!
I really can't believe that it's been 4 years since this 9 lb., 11 oz. bundle of joy came into our lives.
Here she is on her 1st birthday...
and at her 1st birthday party.
Starting the 2 year-old class.
Becoming a big sister just after her 3rd birthday.
And here's the birthday girl at 4! She's so grown up!
We were in Hattiesburg for the weekend, and Anne Parks requested that we all go swimming in a "big pool".
Nora made good use of the lounge chairs for a while.
Anne Parks was so excited that her daddy came to swim with her.

After going strong at the pool for most of the day, the birthday girl (and everyone else for that matter) needed a nap.

After resting, we celebrated with cake and presents.
Next, we were discussing where we should go for dinner, and Anne Parks announced that she wanted to go to the mall. You see, she has wanted to "jump" at the mall since she was old enough to ask for such a thing. My reply has always been, "You're not old enough. I think you have to be 4." Well, this chick doesn't forget a thing, so this is what we did next.
Look how high she got as Jason and Granny Boucher watched.
She loved it so much that she was very, very sad when the jumping time was up.
Anne Parks' 4th ended up being a wonderful day!
