Cami What happened to my first baby? Where did the years go? Was I really 26 years old when I had you? Wow somehow that seemed old to me then!? Oh The endless days of diapers, naps and leisurely park days with friends are now a blurrrr. Good thing I have a good memory because even a camera could not capture it all. Cami you are 10~sometimes I think the next stop is 15! Fortunately it isn't. We have a lot of adventures ahead together as mother and daughter and someday friends! You are so smart, I have to be on top of things all the time. It's humbling to be corrected by my daughter
but I love that you are so interested in me as your mom and life around you. I look forward to growing each year together as mother and daughter!
So many changes are just around the corner, what was that like for me? I often think how did I feel at 10 what were my thoughts and concerns?? Who was I at 10? Cami you will graduate from elementary school in 6 months and go off to middle school where I can't volunteer in your class or wait at your door after school. This makes me sad but it is the next step in letting you have a little more freedom, which means you have more responsibility as a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a student, a friend and a Christian young woman
We joke about what you will become someday... a doctor, a lawyer and such but truly I desire for you to love the Lord with your heart soul and mind. The rest will fall in to place as God has ordained, not us! This is the goal and God will direct your paths, keep looking to Him for ALL decisions, all praise for everything and in any disappointments! God is Amazing Cami!
Thank you Lord for giving her father and I this gift of a daughter Help ME Lord to be the BEST mom you created me to be for Camryn!
I LOVE YOU CAMI!!
Love, Mommy
My little Jordyn, my sweet little teenie tiny 5lb 3oz baby where did you go? You are all grown up. You love to dress up and curl your hair. You play hard on the soccer field and gently with your friends. Wow, you're turning 8 in 5 months. You have grown into a sweet, caring friend, daughter, granddaughter and sister. You love to laugh and your sense of humor is entertaining to all. You are a friend to weak and leader with great confidence. You never want mommy to be alone and I love that about you. We will have many days of shopping just us girls, you me and Cami too! I love your energy for life and determination through any obstacles you may face. God is control and I know your heart is learning to love what is of the Lord and see the difference between the world and Godly things. My desire is that you will always stand up for what you believe and glorify the Lord in ALL you do!
I LOVE YOU JORDYN!
Love, Mommy
Jeremiah 29:11
