It's The Birthday Girl!

Today is Caitlin Claire's 9th birthday. How old does that make me feel? :) Caitlin is truly the sweetest little girl in the world. She is EVERYTHING a momma could wish for in a daughter. I am so very thankful that she is in my life. Caitlin has kept me grounded, and she has taught me that the small things in life are often times the most precious. I remembered thinking that I was so unprepared to have a tiny baby to take care of. I was afraid I'd mess things up. Honestly, I know that God gave me the sweet, calm, easy-going child first so that I would know that I could do it. Thank you Caitlin for being such a wonderful child, and for loving me even though I stumble and fall. You are my saving grace, and you make me smile and laugh like no other can. You are a huge blessing, and I am excited to see what year #9 holds! Kisses and hugs! :)

Wow, I've really watched that one grow! I'm so excited for her. 9 is huge, next year is double digits... Yikes! Our own birthdays aren't nearly as humbling as our childrens....
