The Half-Way Birthday

Today is a milestone birthday. The last of the single-digits. The half-way mark. The doorway from little kid to big kid.

Nine years our Channing has been with us under our roof. Nine more to go. Gulp.

Everything about this past year has been so representative of this half-way birthday. I think more than any other, she has changed the most this year.

As we navigate the uncharted waters of the half-way stage, the place where she is not little but not yet big, we are going to treasure every moment. Every. Single. One. Because I have a feeling the second half is going to zoom by.


Happy 9th birthday to this beautiful young lady! Let's celebrate with a light snow dusting, ear piercing, and chocolate cupcakes!












Channing Elizabeth,
Run like you can fly. Throw leaves. Catch bubbles. Roll down hills. Stand tall. Be silly. And kind. And courageous. Stay little just a little longer.
We love you,
Mom and Dad
