The BIG 8

My oldest turned 8 today. This time 8 years ago I was just out of recovery holding my first born. I almost want to cry thinking about it. She was a c-section after 16 hours of labor. It has been an amazing 8 years. She is the compass in our family. She always knows what is right and is constantly trying to do it. Not that she doesn't get into trouble, she causes her fair share of mayhem around here. She is our artist, our drama queen, and our giggly girl. I can't imagine our family without her. She is a great example and I am so proud of her.
