Birthday Girl!

It's 2 days late here, but I'm wishing my sweet Jessie a Happy 8th Birthday!! We certainly didn't forget her birthday. In fact, we celebrated at the exact minute she was born. I told Jessie about how Daddy and I were watching Batman cartoons in the hospital (thank you epidural) the morning she was born. The nurse came in to check on me and said, "It's time to have a baby." I remember suddenly wanting to put it off after anxiously awaiting her arrival for so many weeks. I wanted to finish watching the cartoon and get used to the idea of actually pushing out a baby. No such luck, the tv was off and I was getting ready to have our baby girl, my firstborn, sweet Jessie. The eight years between then and now has been a wonderful journey through motherhood. Jessie is a light in our home and I hope the next eight years doesn't seem to go by so fast.
AND, to make me feel even older, J is getting baptized tomorrow. She is ready to take this big step at church and we are pleased and thankful to see her growing up so gracefully.
