While we relaxed in Babbitt, MN in August, Janie celebrated her 12th birthday. She was completely surprised by her gift of an ipod touch...she really couldn't believe it! We've never been big on getting the kids the latest techie gadgets, but we found a great buy on Craigslist and knew she would love it. It was fun to see her open it! She also started middle school this year....knowing not a soul as she entered a school with 900 students. To watch her overcome her fear and face it was hard but necessary....and she is blossoming. I thought it would be fun to post some pics of her in years past (the photos on my computer only date back to 2008...you can see I've got some transferring to do)....
2008....pre-glasses, summer softball, American Girl dolls, sweet smile...
2009...maturing, helping so much with foster babies, becoming independent...
2010...sporty, silly, musical, carefree girl...
2011...a young lady...sharing her mother's heartbeat but finding a rythm of her own..
Twelve years old...ipods..email..babysitting...how can 12 years have gone by so quickly?
You are loved, dear girl.
