She's Growing up!


It doesn't seem long ago but according to the calendar it will be ten years tomorrow. Tonight my little girl went to bed a nine year old, in the morning she will awake a ten year old!
As we all sleep the hour will strike midnight and at eleven minutes past the midnight hour, Rachel will enter her tenth year of life. While we will not stay up to commemorate the exact hour we do plan to enjoy the day and the rest of the weekend.
Tomorrow night we will celebrate with friends. Slumber party!! So we could possibly be up tomorrow night. You know how girls can be when they get together...
Saturday night we will celebrate with Jeremy's parents. Of course her cousins will be there and Gigi will be making the cake.
We hope to make it to my parent's on Sunday. I'll be making the cake then and there will be more cousins to visit with.
The next few days look to be busy ones but i know a certain little girl (who really isn't so little anymore) who is really looking forward friends, family, ice cream and birthday cake. I also know a certain mama who is looking forward to watching her daughter enjoy her big day and there may be some tears in her eyes as she remembers the little girl and anticipates the future of this beautiful ten year old while savoring every moment God gives us together...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RACHEL!!!
I LOVE YOU!
