While I had my back turned, this little cutie. . .
. . . went and grew up into this oh-so-grown up lovely young lady - can you believe it?!
We celebrated our Esther's 12th birthday last week with her favorite meal (chicken parmesan - how grown up is that?!) and a cake decorated with her favorite color (just a coincidence it's so close to St. Patty's Day) and fun times with family and friends.
Her birthday wish list included:
a floor lamp to put beside her bed (she's practical like that)
a journal (a girl has ideas to jot down, y'know)
pierced ears (just like her older sisters now!)
and a kitten (she gets to pick from Sophie's litter, as soon as they are born)
Seems like yesterday this Little Queen arrived and we all spent our days sitting around oohing and aahing over her, walking the floors with her trying to convince her that sleep really is a very good thing, disguising vegetables so she wouldn't know what she was eating and would grow strong and healthy.
It's an exciting time, watching what God will do in her life, helping her find the path she's to follow, what interests and talents will emerge as she continues to grow and mature. Our Esther is a joy and a delight, a sweet blessing. We love you dear daughter!
