Double Digits
Meg
My baby, my first born, turned ten on Saturday. This past year I have been dreading this birthday and didn’t approach it with my normal birthday pizazz and preparation. When the magical day arrived I met it with an unexpected attitude. While I had been prepared for being sentimental and a little sad (and I did get a bit sappy) I mostly felt immense pride in my girl. I admire her for her confidence, her kindness and her attitude in life. She reminds me a lot of Hubby, in that she doesn’t put things off, she works hard and plays hard. She is easy to laugh, fun to be with and knows her own mind.
Ten years ago when I became a mom I had such plans and strategies to raise her into being a compassionate and amazing child. My plans have met a few curve balls and I have learned far more from her than she has from me. I am enjoying watching her become who God wants her to be and it is such a delight to be her mom. She has really grown into herself the last few months and it is a privilege to watch.
Age 2
Just in case Meg is reading this I must point out that while she is really amazing, she is not perfect and she will not get more allowance or a cell phone any time soon 
Happy Birthday, Meg!
Also, what’s the fire truck thing in the background of Age 2 Meg?
She is such a sweetheart. Happy Birthday Meg! Love you, Aunt Pam
I am privileged to be Meg’s Grandmother and watch her grow up to be a beautiful and charming young lady. She is such fun to be around and always has a great sence of humor ! While I see much of her daddy in her , I see my little girl Mandy. Always a great sence of humor and fun to be with with wisdom that is years ahead of most kids her age. Happy Birthday Meg! Papa and I are incredibly proud of you.
Love you ,
Papa & Grandma
