Just Say NO, Moe!
Just now, Millie bounced into the room and announced, "In nine more days, I turn NINE!"
My response sounded something like this, "Grrklprh?!"
Our eldest turns nine in nine days.
Someone comfort me, please.

I took the above picture of Millie a month ago. At the time, I couldn't account for the odd expression on her face. A moment ago, however, everything just clicked into place.

My comfort to you:
Nine-year-old's are SO great!
I've got a passel of them this week, and boy are they fun.
And Millie's going to be one of the best EVER.
xo's to you all.
Say it's not so!
How can she possibly be 9 already?
Love to you & your brood!

Heidi,
Thank you. THANK you. I'm going to call you for comfort when she hits the double digits.
Sags,
I KNOW! It seems like only a short time has passed since you first held her baby self and determined that you would refer to her only as Elise. :) Sigh.
I am feeling that way too. About my almost 8 year old.
I was hanging clothes on the line (yesterday?) and Corynn said "I think today is Millie's birthday! Because at church she said it was in three more days. Happy Birthday Millie."
I wonder if Millie heard?
I'll ask her. Did she shout loudly?
