My sweet Cami girl, can this day really be here? Today you turn nine, and today is your "halfway point" of childhood, and that makes me a little sad. Another nine years, and you'll be graduating and setting your eyes on a horizon far beyond our home.
Gone are the days of your big questioning eyes and your baby doll face. We've enjoyed good years with you, Sweetie. With you being the first, I've often felt I've made mistakes on you, and at times done things all wrong. But I know the Lord has bigger plans.
Thinking about these few fleeting years we have left with you gives me pause, and when I catch glimpses of your changing, more womanly face I sometimes panic, realizing I don't know how to be a mom to a tween, then a teen and older. But I'm also excited, seeing you becoming the young lady the Lord wants you to be, and growing in so many areas. I'm beyond thankful to have homeschooling in the plans for next year, and hope and pray it will be fruitful time.
May you grow in true faith and knowledge of the Lord and of His will for your life. This is the best kind of life--the one lived for Him. We love you so much, Babe! xoxo~

Your firstborn is growing into such a pretty young lady. :-) Time does fly, doesn't it? Don't blink very often in the next few years! Hope Cami has a wonderful day today.
Oh I so remember when Marissa hit 9, and those same feelings of "half way." It goes so fast, doesn't it? Beautiful pics of your sweet girl (and how fun Cami and August share a birthday!). ;o)
