This past Thursday Kaitlin turned eight, and being that she's my youngest child, I first had to take a deep breath, swallow down the shock that in ten years she'll be a grown up, and begin celebrating! Is it just me, or can you never really do all your birthday celebrating in one day when you're a kid? The real celebration took place this weekend when we went out to dinner at Red Robin with her bff who also spent the night. I believe the highlight of the evening was either watching Barbie Fashion Fairytale, or playing with every Build-a-Bear in the house. Either way, she enjoyed her birthday, and I enjoyed seeing her have fun.
You know, it's really amazing being a mom. It's such a delighful journey - a complete blessing to be a caretaker of God's children. Sometimes I worry I might screw up, but most of the time I am in awe of how God uses them to bless me, teach me, and comfort me. I would never in a million years trade in the blessings I've been given, especially my three girls!
