Turning Five

June 15, 2022

Dear Sierra,

Just one year ago, you turned four and everyone cheered with pride for the sweet little girl you became. Since then, I watched you spark many adventures with your imagination, become a wonderful big sister to Aurora, and enjoy various loves, including skiing, baking, and drawing. For months, we have talked about your 5th birthday and entrance into Kindergarten. It is hard to believe that five years have gone by since you graced us with your sweet presence.

 
Happy Pre-Birthday Party with the cake you suggested we make.
Sierra at birth in 2017

Grandma love 
is a kiss,
a sweet smile.

It flows from
one heart to
another,

creating
one solid
foundation.

Birthday Wishes to My Little Miss!
Love, Grandma

Thank you, artist, poet, and friend Michelle Kogan, for hosting the Poetry Friday Roundup this week and creating a fairy birthday card for my granddaughter, Sierra that can be seen at her lovely Etsy shop. I look forward to watching Sierra open Michelle's whimsical card.


Join me at Michelle's blog to read her poem for Dad's Day and for more poetry goodness.

  4. "From one heart to another" - exactly right! Hard to believe it's been five years already, but then my oldest will be twenty-one this summer! I love that you've kept my card, Carol. Wow! Happy, Happy Birthday to Sierra!

  5. Wow...five years already. That is amazing. You are one lucky grandmother to be close to your Sierra getting to know her and be such a part of her life. I love 'Grandmother Love.' It is definitely a miracle and a gift. Happy Birthday, Sierra!

  7. Thanks for this lovely post, Carol. Your oldest granddaughter is 5, mine is 15! How did we get here so quickly? And hasn't the ride been sweet? Enjoy her most special 5th birthday. I got to see all four of my grands while my 13-yr-old grandson played in a rock band today. What a hoot!
