Last week was a week of birthday celebrations for us. Shelby turned 11 on the 12th and Chip turned 39 on the 16th. Yes, he is really 39 this year. He's not looking forward to 40 so next year may be his second 39th birthday! The weekend before Shelby's birthday, she had 6 girls over for a sleepover. It was fun but very loud. It is amazing how much 10 & 11 year old girls squeal! We only had one emotional breakdown - which is pretty good considering there were 7 girls! I am sad that my little girl is 11. She is growing up so fast right in front of me. But I also know that God has great plans for her and so I am excited to see what a wonderful young lady she is going to grow into. As far as Chip's birthday goes, his one request was that I make him a cake and so I did. It's just not as much fun to celebrate our birthdays as it is the kids. Cole's birthday in on the 15th of February and he has been negotiating his birthday plans for weeks!! And then my baby will be 9. I really wish everybody would just stop getting older! And do you know what really bugs me? Is that I sound like "old people" when I complain about not knowing where the time went! :)
Tonight I am thankful for my husband and my children and the fact that they are healthy and have celebrated another year in their lives.
