Today is my beautiful baby girl's ninth birthday!  It is amazing to me that it has been nearly a decade that I have been blessed with her, and I have loved every last moment of it.  I always knew that I wanted to be a mother and would daydream about what my children would be like, but never had I imagined that I would have the two most gorgeous, generous, loving, silly kids.  I couldn't be prouder of my big girl.
