8 Is Going To Be Great!

  MA turned 8. Doesn't seem possible to me that we have an 8 year old. At the same time, I can't remember a time without her. And some days I think she is 18 not 8. We are truly lucky to call Miss MA our daughter and can't wait to see what she accomplishes and grows to love this year.
  We started the day off with a Facetime chat with the fam back in IL. Complete with a coffee cake with candles. And getting to open an early present from them. Made her wait until dinner with daddy to open the rest. DB worked really hard and made some special and thoughtful gifts. I was really proud of him. He used some of his own supplies (tape is like gold to him) and wrapped a few things for MA. He also made her her name out of various things he rounded up from the house. All on his own. He is such a good brother, when he isn't making his sisters crazy!
