Mary Grace is SIX Years Old!

On Saturday, October 11th, Mary Grace celebrated her 6th birthday! I really can't believe it! People always say that children grow up fast. I think that is impossible to understand until you become a parent and you are blessed to witness it for yourself. I can remember, very clearly, rocking Mary Grace to sleep every night. She seemed so small. And now she is a "big girl". She is no longer small enough to fit in my arms. She does not need, or want, to be rocked to sleep. She does not need to be fed or have her diaper changed... those days are long gone. I must admit, it makes me a little sad. I miss her being a "baby". But, I am very excited about watching her grow and change. I can't wait to see what God has in store for my little Mary Grace! On the day of her birthday, our family joined us to celebrate. We had cake and ice cream and enjoyed a lively game of kickball in the back yard with all the kids and "young" adults. Kickball is a lot harder than I remember. We had so much fun! Mary Grace really enjoyed playing with her cousins! She had a great birthday!
