It's Anneliese's birthday! She's six! SIX! It sounds so old, doesn't it?
Another year has flown by:

(Other birthday videos: first year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year.)
It always makes me a bit sad and nostalgic watching my babies grow up, and watching all the past years of birthday videos makes me full of sappy tears and memories. There an ache to it, of course. But mostly, today, it's a warm ache, tempered by the lovely feelings of watching her grow into a person I really like and respect. She is a wonderful child, the world is better with her in it, and it is an honor to be her mom. My heart is full to bursting.
Happy happy birthday, dear Anneliese.
