Seems like every year since I started this blog in 2006, I begin Katie Beth’s annual birthday blog post with “I CAN’T BELIEVE ___ YEARS HAVE FLOWN BY!”
And as much as I’d like to think of better, more creative words to use, I REALLY, REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE MY KATIE BETH IS ELEVEN!
Eleven. ELEVEN! As in, almost a teenager. Almost in MIDDLE school. Gosh!
Wasn’t it just yesterday I brought this little seven-pound infant home from the hospital to our little house on Sneed Street? So hard to believe so much time has passed since then. But I will say…. she’s turned out to be everything I wanted her to be: Sweet. Smart. Beautiful. Happy. A friend to everyone. And I could go on and on. I’m so thankful for the gift God gave me when he gave me her, and thankful that *I get to be her mom.
We celebrated her eleventh birthday with a party at our church bowling alley and had a blast!
Oh… THIS is why we had her party early (see below). I was, like, 172 weeks pregnant with a baby due on Katie Beth’s birthday… and clearly I was at the point where only about three shirts still fit. :-/
