Just blink your eyes. . .

and they've all grown up. Time has flown so quickly in the last ten years. "Eenie" turned 10 years old yesterday. It amazes me how much she has grown, changed and matured over the last ten years. She is truly a joy to be with, and it is a blessing to have a daughter old enough to have "girl dates" with. God has been very good to me.

On Sunday, we celebrated "Eenie's" birthday with a family birthday party. She got a movie, a bible study book and a doll that she chose herself. Her cake was a rice Krispy treat in the shape of a purse (milk and egg free, so that "Miney" could enjoy it too). After the party, she stayed to enjoy the evening with Grammy and Grandpa. Yesterday, on her actual birthday, I took the kids to McDonald's for breakfast and to the park for a play date. After that, they enjoyed a few hours at Grammy's while Mommy took a nap (I don't remember the last time I got to take a nap while someone else watched the kids!). Tonight, she will spend the night with her aunt and uncle and have pizza and watch her movie on their big screen TV. Since we don't generally allow sleepovers, this is a special treat for her. We were going to go on a field trip to a museum today per her request, but "Meanie" woke up in the night, running a fever. We have decided to postpone the trip so that we can all enjoy it at a later date. All in all, she has had a very nice birthday :-)
