Then and now

I just love the posts that have the then and now pictures. I realized yesterday that I never posted the pictures from Memorial day. We went to the local parade with Gerard's family. Everyone worried that I would not have a red, white and blue ribbon for her hair when I actually had a whole outfit just waiting. In Anna's room there is a small American flag that I gave to her the day we were scheduled to go the the United States Embassy in Russia. I so wanted a picture of he waving it but she was too fast and looking at the camera was hard for her then and even now.

Then


Now


At my Mom's house later that day


I can also now officially say that Anna has out grown an outfit. She can no longer wear this dress because it is too short.

Then


Now


I feel like I need to go through her things. Some things need to be packed up and others need to be given away. I never thought this chore would be one that I would think about as being happy memory.

I love the then and now pictures! It is amazing how quickly they grow up. It makes you want to hug them all the more tightly!
