Sarahshine

Today was Sarah's thirteenth birthday. As I see the young lady she has become I have to remember the days when she was "my Sarahshine, my only Sarahshine." (Sung to You are My Sunshine.) I think of her as the chubby little baby whose first word was cookie to the grown up girl who can bake her own cookies. She's grown from the curly haired pink faced doll baby to a very poised young lady who gave away her hair. She went from singing "Hold me, hold me, hold me" to the tune of "Holy, Holy, Holy" to playing the piano in church sometimes.

In the past few weeks Sarah has been more interested in planning a party for Hannah who turns sixteen next week than planning her own. We had a nice quiet day (ha-ha) of school, her Daddy date to Five Guys, and the first soccer game of the season. For supper a friend came over to eat Chinese and chocolate cheesecake and we watched a girl movie. After supper, the girls all danced and played in the dining room and we had a great evening. What a blessing God has given us in our girls.
