My Baby is Ten!

Sarah celebrated her 10th birthday on April 5. Double Digits! It's sad as a mother to see your little one encounter double digits knowing that half their life living with you is now over. When the video camera was running and Sarah was asked, "How old are you today?" Sarah proudly replied, "I'm 20!" "Not quite," I said. "You're moving a little too fast." Kids always want to be older and Sarah is no exception. But as Sarah turned ten, she wanted a Build-A-Bear Monkey more than anything else. She not only received one build-a-bear monkey, but TWO monkeys--TWINS. A brown and a pink monkey were given to her along with a monkey birthday party. As you can see, she is still is a little girl loving stuffed animals. The afternoon was spent with games, games, and more games with friends. Monkey Tic-Tac-Toe, Monkey Basket Upset, and a beautiful Monkey cake made by Amy and Bob. Yes, Sarah is ten and enjoying life. Her favorite Bible verse we're working on is Phil 2:3 "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind, regard one another as more important than yourself." Yes, that's our goal for our little one!
