She is growing to be such a lady. She turns Eight today. What a great age.... Not so "young" any more... Eight means more resposibility in our home, it means growing up, getting to do more on your own, and having those big person perks that are so coveted around here. Staying up a bit later... reading in your room when everyone else has to turn out lights and sleep... Eight it GREAT!!!

 

Happy Birthday my darling girl!
