Dada

9 yrs ago today I became a Mother to the most beautiful little girl ever.

I have often wished that I had cherished more those moments when my children were babies. They grow up so fast. 9 years just seems like yesterday.

She is so much like her Daddy in looks, but like her Mom in her attitude and personality. (which may not always be a good thing!! )

(sorry these 2 pictures are so blurry, I didn't have a digital camera "back then" so I took a picture of a picture. Poor quality!!)





Today she is at her Aunts house. Janelle wanted the girl cousins for a couple days this week. This is 1 of the last weekends she is able to have them before school starts. It just so happens that it fell on her bday.

I am very sad to not have spent the day with her. I have been a tad bit emotional all day today.

But Dada got the choice of what she wanted to do. And who would give up an opportunity to be spoiled by their Aunt and spend the week with her cousins?

Janelle took them horseback riding which is something Dada has wanted to do for a long time. She was so very excited about it.


She also wanted to go swimming in Janelle's pool.

When she told me that she would be going to Janelle's she told me that she could just have her party next week. That way she can do 2 fun things.

So next week is her bday slumber party. She will have a few friends over, they will stay up way to late, eat to much cake and giggle till their sides hurt.

But tonight I will remember what a joy she has been in our life. And how I couldn't imagine having another daughter. She is what I always dreamt about.

It has hit me in a weird kinda way how much children are truly a gift from God.
