Eight

I have no idea how this...
became this
in such a short period of time. I mean, really, where did the time go? I have no idea, do you? Today she did it. Mazie turned 8. We smooshed 8 candles onto her star shaped cake. There really isn't much room on that little cake for more candles.
After we sang (Jamie and Jacob rather loudly), she blew out her candles. I do hope all her wishes come true.
We gave lots of hugs and kisses and birthday wishes...
Jamie made some fabulous cards for her big sister. She worked very hard to get them just right. Mazie opened some fantastic gifts and loves everything. If you didn't hear those squeals of delight from our house, I am really surprised!

So, like I said, I'm not sure where the time went. Last night at supper I was telling Mazie that at that moment, 8 years ago, I remember starting back labor. I told her that I decided to take a shower and go to bed. After waking up at 2:30 the next morning in active labor, we knew she would arrive that day. After going to the hospital on Wright Patterson AFB at 7am, going through 8 more hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing, Mazie arrived by way of c-section at 5:37pm with a squeaky little cry that I will never forget. She loves her birth story. And today we celebrated her turning 8. She is growing into such an amazing little lady. She has a mind of her own and the sass to go with it. She loves to learn and looks for things to figure out.
We are so very proud of you Miss Mazie Moo. We hope you enjoyed your special day. We love you, always!

Thanks to you all. Mazie was really tickled to read all of these comments this morning. You really made her day. And, Mom, thanks for filling her head with more ideas of how to get away with things...

Nope I don't know where it went either! But I love that when I was starting to celebrate my own birthday, we got that call that she had come into the world. We think you're amazing, Maz!
