There are many things we love about our Lorelei. She is definitely a unique girl. She is very active. We are so lucky to have her in our life. She has taught us so much and is such a good girl. I can't believe my little girl is five years old! Where does the time go? I have just loved these past five years with Lorelei. She is such a sweet, energetic, fun-loving little girl. We just adore her. We have had almost a complete five years just with her. She has taught me that life is exciting and to have fun. She is always on the go! We love her more than words can express. Happy 5th Birthday baby girl!

Holy cow, Lorelei is so beautiful. She looks just like her mommy. I can't believe she is 5. I'm seriously choking back tears right now just thinking about how fast time flies. I wish more then anything there was a pause button we could hit to slow things down just a bit. Love ya to death.
