L turns eight



My eldest daughter turned eight today.  It only feels like yesterday when I held her for the first time and gazed into her smiley eyes. Today, I am amazed and grateful for L and all that she brings to our lives.

L, the first thing about you that I always mention (this blog included) is your kindness.  It is such a simple virtue, but so hard to follow through, when life or tiredness gets in the way, but you are so natural and consistent in this trait.  You love to learn, presently you are thriving in year three, with wonderful certificates in tow.  May the greatest lesson you learn be that you are greatly loved.  Trust your decisions, you are very discerning and have a wonderful heart.  I am learning to love the things you love (one direction and camp rock...why)??  Seriously, I love to find you where you are, not always where I would want you to be.  When the road seems to divide, please remember I will always come to you.  As a mother I will always celebrate you being your own person, but for now I still have the role to help you grow.

  1. Lovely post and really beautiful photos. Happy birthday to your girl. My six year old daughter also loves One Direction. I do not love them, but they are slowly growing on me.

    1. Thank you Gillian, it would be simple if one direction didn't feature in her list of likes, but alas we bear with them. I have been saying no to the album for months, but suggested a friend get it for her and it made her day!
