8 years old!

Today is my eldest daughter's 8th birthday. Phew! It truly is hard to believe that I have an 8 year old daughter...but it is also hard to believe that I had a life before her. I know that she is heading into the more "complicated" and confusing years of a young girl's life. I wish I could help her hold on to the innocence and softness she exudes today. My hope is that I can guide her through...and that she will appreciate it.
She entered the world 8 years ago, at 2am...and this morning she came into my room at 7:30am...a little too early for my liking. Now we are sitting around admiring her birthday loot. We have a full day planned with waffle eating, bookstore shopping, the Smurf's movie and dinner out. Have a great day...embrace your inner 8 year old.
