She is in the double digits.. 10 today!

I find it hard to wrap my head around the concept that my oldest 'baby' is 10 years old today! I swear it seems like just yesterday I was bringing her home, watching her first steps, and wishing for her hair to grow long enough to put in a pony tail (it took awhile for her). Now I have this tween girl who is turning more and more into a little lady every time I look at her.  

 

You will forever be my baby!

 

We already had her birthday party on Sunday, but we always have a birthday dinner on the family members actual birthday (or as close to it as we can). Birthday Girls choice of dinner. She picked country fried steak, mashed potatoes, and corn. She also requested that daddy make it. she loves her daddies cooking and to be honest I love it to, my favorite part is I don't have to cook. We had cake and then went to the playground and had a family walk and sat on the swing set and talked about our hopes for the up coming summer, since school is officially out for her next week. Her summer is booked solid with adventures, camps, and vacations (with her grandparents). I'm not sure if I will actually get to see her to much this summer. Slow down time baby girl. The days are long and the years are short. It was a good day.
