Lily this morning...still only 9 she reminded me. She was born at 12:50 pm.
I really cannot believe it has been 10 years since Lily was born. I was almost 45 when she was born...which seemed so old back then, but now, 45 seems so young. Because now, I will be 55 in February, which is officially AARP territory.
But this is about Lily, not me. Today, she turns 10. And I can't believe it. I remember Matthew being so sad I was in the hospital with her. I remember the four oldest coming to meet her...and them setting my bed on fire because they were playing with it, making it go up and down. And I remember bringing her home, and having 5 children ages 11 and under. I am so blessed to have her. She is truly the best thing that ever happened to our family. I mean, we were very happy before she came, but having her come into our family has made it so much better, for our family, and she has made everyone so much happier. It is hard to describe.
We aren't going to really celebrate today, though, because she has play practice until 5:30, then Matthew gets picked up at 7, and I have my final knitting class from 7-8:30, and it is a Wednesday, etc, etc. We did have her birthday party on Saturday (7 girls, to go see Trolls...I was really happy when they all left at 11 pm.) I think we are going to try to make it down to Sprinkles before it closes, to celebrate just a little bit...the real celebration will be in 10 days, when we can celebrate, on a Saturday.
So, happy birthday, my love. I love you just because you breathe!
