My girl
(I will expand upon my last post very soon, but I really needed to write, first, about my sweet girl.)
My baby girl is five. I simply can not believe how quickly time has flown since she became ours officially in August of 2006. Selah is a delight to our family. I am still in awe of how good God is when I look at her. How is it that a little girl born on the other side of the world could fit so perfectly in to our family? How is it that she could so quickly BE our family in every sense of the word? Only the Lord in His infinite wisdom would know just what we needed. Selah, who's name means "to pause in wonder of God", lives up to the meaning of her name. We often pause in wonder of God when we realize just how much a part of us she is.
I thought some of you (mostly our families) would be interested in seeing pictures from her five year old princess tea party. I was thrilled with her idea to have a tea party with her favorite girl friends and had so much fun planning it.

My sisters and I all got our ears pierced when we turned 5, so we carried on the tradition. Selah was SO BRAVE!
Her party was early so we celebrated her actual birthday at The Broken Plate with Auntie Bernice and Uncle Curtis.
Selah Thu, You are a gift. We love you so much and we pause in wonder every day that the Lord matched us with you!

Beautiful post Erin. Oh MY...can't believe she's FIVE!
I really cannot believe she is 5. Thanks for posting all the pictures! Love those pierced ears. Brave girl! Love you, Selah!
I can't believe our babies are turning 5 this year! Happy Birthday Selah!
She is a beautiful little princess.... especially with the pierced ears =).
How awesome. Selah certainly is a precious little girl and a beautiful little princess.
This theme is perfect for the little Princess that Selah is! I can hardly wait for my granddaughter to do the same thing. We will miss all of your kids growing up before our eyes, so please remember to post pictures often when you move. God truly blessed all of us with all of you...you will be missed.

I LOVE this! I want to borrow her so I can have an excuse to throw a princess tea party birthday! What a big girl to get her ears pierced! What a fun party!! Happy Birthday sweet Selah!! I am glad posted so we could pause in wonderment of that sweet girl!
I HATE that I wasn't there. But the pics are adorable, and it looks like a great time. And yay for five-year-old pierced ears! Hug that precious girl (and her brothers) for me.
