On Saturday, May 1st my daughter Katie Rose turns 20. My May Day Baby! I always loved May Day when I was a little girl. And for the last 20 years it has been an even bigger day for me.
When Katie was a little girl of about 4, some of the older neighborhood kids placed flowers outside of our door in celebration of May Day. The first time this happened, Katie ran to the door and came back excitedly with the flowers in hand. " Mommy", she said, "how did those kids know it was my birthday today?"
I will never forget that sweet moment.
These were taken 2 years ago for her senior pics. She compromised with me a bit and wore some pinks. I have always loved the color pink but Katie not so much.
I used our scanner for these. They are in a book we ordered that contained all of the pics the photographer took.
I got my pink pics. Thanks daughter!
It was in the 90's the day she had these taken. I remember the bottom of her feet were burning from the hot rocks. She was a trooper. The photographer spent 4 hours with her that day.
I loved the light coming in the window here.
Happy Birthday Katie Rose!

Happy Pink Saturday Cindy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday to Katie Rose. She is so beautiful. She takes after you for sure.
I love the photos you shared with us. I can't decide which one I like best, they are all so excellent, but that dress is absolutely exquisite. She looked so beautiful. Please tell her Happy Birthday.
Hope you are getting better and recovering nicely from your surgery. I too had gall bladder surgery a few years back, it is no picnic for sure. Get better soon sweetie.
Hope you have a beautiful May Day with Katie Rose. What a wonderful way to start May out.
I am battling a round of pneumonia. I came home with it from Maryland. I slept with the windows open as it felt so nice. I guess it was to much for system. Marydon is worth every single cough I take.
Country hugs sweetie and so much love, Sherry
She is a beautiful young lady! Happy Birthday Katie!!

ReplyDeleteI got to spend the whole day working in my sunroom that I am trying to get ready for summer. I was painting all kinds of furniture and, at one point, it was snowing ! Isn't that crazy weather for you!
Happy Birthday Miss Katie!!! Isn't May the best? The perfect month for a baby.

And thank you for the cute card Dear Friend. :) Made me smile!
SOME day I'll get caught up blogging - don't know when tho . . .
HUGS! Karen

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your Katie Rose! My goodness, Cindy...she's beautiful! I know you must be so proud of her! Love the story of the flowers...so cute! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!...hugs...Debbie

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Katie Rose! You're pretty just like your pretty mother.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cindy, Katie is such a beautiful girl and what lovely photos of her! Hope she had a marvelous birthday.
Thanks for popping in to see me. Your visits are always a high point for me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your daughter is so beautiful! Happy birthday to her!!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful girl. Nothing quite like having a daughter, is there? Mine doesn't really like pink either (maybe I made her wear it too much as a little girl).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful young lady! So graceful & poised!
ReplyDelete"Happy Birthday, Katie Rose!"
These photos captured a very special time in her life & she will be grateful that you made her wear pink...it looks lovely on her!
Just found your lovely site thru WooHoo Wednesday and so admire it and your gorgeous pictures! Katie Rose is stunning and the shot in the dress at the window is something I'd expect to see in "Brides" magazine. I have a (6yo) DD named Sarah Rose and we celebrated a May Day Bday - but for our puppy Olivia... Your appreciation for your drive reminds me of myself too. I often wonder if my kids will feel the same (and if my DD will wear pink when she's older). ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
hugs,
Leslie
She is a stunningly beautiful girl! And those eyes! I love the story about the flowers.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Happy Birthday Katie Rose....the pictures are beautiful...especially the one in the ball gown at the window...Have a wonderful year!!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Birthday to Katie Rose. My goodness, what a beautiful young woman. I can tell she is just as beautiful on the inside.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to my rattlesnake posting... I can't believe my husband brought that rattlesnake in AND I can't believe I cooked it AND even ate one piece. Not bad.. tastes like chicken!
Thanks so much for your visits. Your blog is always a delight.

Hi Girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteOhhh...your Katie Rose is such a beautiful young woman! I think she takes after her beautiful mama!!! I really enjoyed looking through your photos of her...the photographer was really good, he/she seemed to "catch" that beautiful spirit perfectly!!! Well my friend, I realize it is a bit late...but still wanted to wish Katie a very Happy (belated) Birthday!!! I thought your story about the May Day flowers was sooo cute...loved that!!!
Darlin', I just didn't realize how far behind that I had gotten with my blogging...until I came over to say hello! Sheeeeshhh...I think I missed a whole handful of your lovely posts...I do apologize! I'm going to enjoy going through them now...and see what all you've been up to!
Love ya, Sweetie...
