12:19 am
I know you have heard of the moment I found out I was carrying your life in my body.
I know you have heard of the moments after your birth when you weren't breathing on your own, and we didn't hear you cry for 7-8 minutes.
I know you have heard of your first steps taken as you were watching Teletubbies.
I know you have heard how for quite some time, you referred to yourself only by your last name.
I know you have heard all about the first smiles, the first laughs, the first time you slept through the night, and the first tooth.
I know you have heard the stories of how you would love to get a bowl full of fresh snow, and sit on the kitchen floor with a big spoon and eat it.
I know you have heard us tell you countless times how much we love you.
But I don't think you have heard me tell you how much my life was changed at 12:19 in the morning on this date in 1998.
Happy Eighth Birthday, sweet, sweet child.

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.
The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.
The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.
The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.
The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.

Happy Birthday, you big second grader! We are so proud of what you've done so far, and can't wait to see what you have yet to accomplish in life. You are a great big sister (most of the time!), and it's so nice when we catch you teaching your brother and sister things. And it's funny to see you mother them sometimes, too...
We love you very very very much! Enjoy your special day!!!
Love, Daddy
