I had a moment of panic this weekend when it really hit me that my oldest daughter had turned nine years old! Oh my goodness! That’s one year from double digits! I have recovered from my panic attack and am doing well now!

Lydia, as you can tell, was delighted to be having a slumber party with her girlfriends. I absolutely LOVED the last two weekends of hysterical giggle fits and running and club housing in the storage room. I think I nearly had as much fun as the girls! Being a mom keeps getting more and more fun as the girls get older. I relived my days of overnights with girlfriends and it was as fun as I remembered! Lydia said it was the best day of her life!

All the girls were so sweet and so good both weekends, while having a wildly fun time. I think I’ve rested up and have nearly fully recovered! I think they have, too!
