Peanut turned 10 a few weeks ago...TEN. It continues to amaze me that my girls are growing up. I have a 13 year old, 10 year old and 8 year old. I remember the days when they were 2 and we were trying so hard to determine what they were saying, what they wanted....I remember thinking,"I can't wait for them to grow up." What a mistake. Although I love my girls so much, I wish I could go back and steal just one more ABC song, one more rock in the rocking chair, one more walk with the stroller.
OK...enough of the sappiness on to the fun. We don't do ridiculous birthday gifts around here. There is very little my girls need and we do not need more junk around the house. I always struggle with gifts for them. Peanut really wanted an alarm clock of her own, that is what is in this package.
My girls LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Adventures in Odyssey and when I was at our local homeschool convention in May, I scored a deal on a couple sets. Sissy, who can listen to Adventures in Odyssey for HOURS, was really excited to be able to give her sister this gift.
The smile this child has lights up her whole face, her blue eyes have always been something that could draw me in. Of course, all of our kids have different personalities, but this one, this girl has the most amazing spirit of joy and it is one that I envy. SIGH...here she is...ten candles on her cake/brownie. SIGH..where has the time gone?
