14 and Growing Strong!!

   This weekend we celebrated our girl K's 14th Birthday! Though her actual birthday isn't until the 23rd, we won't be seeing her, so we celebrate with her while she's here on the weekend. We didn't do anything to crazy or exciting (the weather limits us somewhat), but we had cake with her grandparents, ordered pizza and let her have a friend stay overnight. Today (Sunday), we took her out for a birthday lunch, which was also a little bit for her dad as well since his birthday is in a week, then went and took a couple of pics at the Comfort Maple tree. (this tree is actually in a beer commercial on t.v.!!!). Overall, I think the weekend went great, and it probably helps a whole lot that I am now on the mend......just have to get through my upcoming root canal!!! EEK!!!

  I still can't believe that K is turning 14!! I remember the little 4 year old girl that would lay on top of me on the couch, pull the blankets over us and watch cartoons.....*sigh*, how I miss those days! She's turning out to be the most amazing, beautiful, kind-hearted young woman, and I couldn't have asked to have a more amazing kid to be a part of my life. I am so thankful each and everyday that I get to experience what being a "mom" is like. I am one of the luckiest women on earth!!!

   I didn't snap a whole lot of pics because of course, I was running around making sure everything else was taken care of, but I did get a few and I think that they sum things up!! I hope K enjoyed her weekend, even if it was brief, and I wish her the most amazing birthday tomorrow!! Love you more than you'll ever know K!! xoxo
