Double Digits


This girl just turned 10 years old! 

She is amazing.  She is sweet.  She is kind.  She is smart.  She is innocent.  She is growing up too fast!  

I believe that she seems to be growing up too fast because the older she gets, the more activities she gets involved in and the more chaotic OUR schedule becomes. That is the case with both Abby and Gracie.  Yet I cannot complain because I thoroughly enjoy watching my children have fun, discover their talents and create friendships. 

It has been a busy summer.  Horseback riding lessons, swim team, a week at Grammy and Pappy's house, a trip to Florida to visit Lala and Poppie, a short trip to Disney and some time spent at a few Florida beaches.  Sanibel Island was our favorite beach!  Lots of relaxation and many shells to be found.  We also enjoyed a trip to Savannah, Georgia on the way home from Florida, complete with a haunted carriage tour of the historic district and dinner on the river front.  Crab cakes and shrimp and grits.  Yum!
