Today is her birthday!

And I thank God for her.

For everything that you are.
For everything you have brought to our family.
I thank God.

May I always be a good example to you.
May I always strive to do what is best for you.
May you grow and develop into the woman God desires you to be.
May you always know that you are loved and appreciated.

You are my daughter and I love you so much.
I am so proud of you just for being you.
Every day of my life I thank God for creating you
And blessing me so richly with the gift of you!

From a poem entitled “To My Daughter” (Anonymous).

Happy 11th birthday, Cate! You’re 11 in ‘11…at least, for the next month or so. : )

We love you!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
