Butterfly Kisses

Rachel and Keith went to a Father-Daughter Dance tonight at First Baptist Eau Gallie. He regularly goes on 'date nights' with each of the children, and Rachel chose this one for her turn. They danced a lot and really enjoyed the strawberries dipped in chocolate fondue. Rachel came home with a goody bag full of discounts to restaurants. Hooray for me!!

The End of Childhood...

Today my oldest child officially became part of the youth group. This little baby who was born via emergency C-section...who would not sleep through the night...who was literally kicked out of the hospital after 5 days of stubbornly refusing to drink after her tonsillectomy, is done with childhood.

I'm excited for her, and sad at the same time. The next 6 years will also go by faster than I want them to. I intend to cherish every moment I have with her, before she is gone. I know God has great things in store for her!
