Jill's Journal: I still haven’t figured out how our eldest has had the gall to grow so fast and already hit the ripe old age of seven when it feels like we just had her yesterday. But, grow she has and somehow seven years have already passed.
Erika’s been looking forward to this birthday for months. So looking forward to it, in fact, that she had the entire day meticulously planned out from dawn to bedtime, including giving us a schedule and menu for her preferred breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Since a birthday only comes once a year, we did our best to indulge her. I think it’s safe to say she had a pretty fabulous day.
We were blessed to have Beppy make the three-hour drive to join us and the party also included Kristi, Adam, and Uncle Adam. A few months ago, we never dreamed we’d be around family for birthday celebrations, so this one (and Madelyn’s in December) was pretty special.
Erika had several choices of how to spend her birthday afternoon and she chose the SLO Children’s Museum! It was chaotic and crowded on a weekend day after being so peaceful and fun earlier in the week, but the girls all enjoyed it just the same. Apparently so did Beppy. :)

I was wondering where the picture of your newly-minted 7-year-old was! I agree...that's some audacity on her part to go & get herself half grown without even asking. :)

Do you remember the song Turn Around, Turn around, Turn around and your a young girl going out of the door, Turn around, Turn around, Turn around and your a young wife with babes of your own. This song really does sum up how fast time flies in a childs life. Erika was our new baby just a blink ago and now look growing so fast. Cherish these years, their gone before you know it.
