My Baby Girl is 12

Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital and then soon she was off to school catching the school bus, now today she has turned twelve. Wow! It wears me out to think how fast life flys by. I want to push a slow down button and take each day and treasure every moment. Emy is such a precious daughter. I tell her if I could pick any girl for her to be like she would be my pick. She has a heart for Jesus and she has a compassionate spirit that will take her far in life. Not to mention that its just plain fun having a girl, love doing manicures, and pedicures together, laughing girlish, playing resturant, dolls and watching flips and endless cheers. I want to thank God for giving me these twelve wonderful years with Em and look so forward to watching her grow into the special young lady she will be... This year we celebrated her big day by taking a road trip to BabyLand General Hospital where they make Cabbage Patch Dolls. We had so much fun, they even had a special delivery while we were there. Em has collected the dolls and things and has quite the little museum. The boys tolerated us, but were happy to make Emily so happy. One of her main presents that she requested was a Vera Bradley Purse, she got money, clothes and more CPatches, American Girl game and a special horse necklace that her Aunt Sherry gave her. Tonight she will go to a church lock in, she has had a wonderful birthday.
