I can't believe it. Eight years ago today my sweet Poogie fluttered into our lives at 3:12 in the afternoon. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 18 and a half inches long. I had waited so long for her and she was finally here. I remember it all like it was yesterday. And now here she is a big 8 year old. It just gets harder every year to watch her grow up. I wish I had a better recent picture of her but all the pictures I get of her are usually at dance.
So what are we doing for the big day? Sunday we went to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Today,we opened her presents, well all but one she got earlier in the week, American Girl doll of the Year, Lanie. She also got some AG clothes and stuff to go with Lanie, plus a digital camera. Tomorrow her Nana and I are taking her out to lunch at the restaurant of her choice. Then she will have a swim party with her buddies at the YMCA later in the month. Pretty good for an 8 yr old. Oh, and her daddy is going to take her ice skating again.
She is well worth all this celebration. She has brought such joy and love into our lives. We are blessed.
