Ahh, my youngest is nine today. I cannot be in denial, I don't want to be, except that I can no longer pick her up. She can practically pick me up. That part just plain stinks!
To Grace: You bring so much to my life - laughter, drama, bugs (ugh!), brains (you're welcome!), energy, a stubborn streak, and our shared love of math, just for starters. I am so in love with you, darlin', and blessed to be your mommy!
