This week we celebrated Annabelle's 9th birthday so I am especially nostalgic since we just celebrated it a couple days ago. It really does seem like yesterday that we brought her home for the first time. When she was born everyone would tell us that "time would fly" and that before we know it she'd be graduating high school. While I don't want to fast forward things we do want to prepare her for what lies ahead.
I try and treasure every single moment that we spend together as a family and especially those times we get to spend just the two of us. Anyone who knows me knows that our daddy-daughter days are priceless to me. When we first were married, Danielle and I thought that we'd have lots of kids. We have grown and learned that our plan is not always God's plan. We are so thankful for Annabelle each and every day. She has truly made our family complete. When someone tells you, "...they grow so fast...", you better believe it! Happy Birthday Annabelle!
