My once-little girl is growing up SO fast. Too fast sometimes, it seems. It is bittersweet, having an almost ten year old now…. I absolutely love the age that she is at and the fun that we have together, but to have a child in the double-digits has made me realize how fast these years do fly. It makes me want to treasure every single moment and remember everything.
I was so young when I had Brielle & I remember being pregnant and then the feeling of having a newborn and “playing house” with my new little baby. But, as time passed, I realized more and more how huge our responsibility was. The last year especially I have noticed how much of a young adult Brielle has become. Her interests have changed, she has matured & some of the conversations we have had have amazed me. I better not write too much more because I don’t want to embarrass her when she reads this! Brielle, you are everything we could have ever hoped for in a daughter….. thank you for brightening up each one of our days. Your whole family loves you soooooooooo much!!!
Here are a few photos from her party. (Her actual birthday isn’t until the end of the month but it worked better to have the party now with swimming lessons/travel etc at the end of the month)
these were the treat boxes that we had fun putting together!
Andrew took some of the younger kids for a “field trip” out to see the silage pile!
the new baby kittens came out to play for a while too!
Brielle was very excited when she realized she was receiving her very own PINK holga camera!! We have already planned a little outing to go out and shoot a roll of film each with our holgas!
