Has it already been 7 years?

How could this little thing turn into

This grown up girl?

Time keeps flying by around here. Addy turned 7 just two days ago. I remember the day she was born so clearly. It's hard to believe that she's been with us for 7 years. Addy is such a good kid. She is very kind and usually quite happy. She is very sensitive to others feelings. She can tell if I'm having a bad day and will try to cheer me up. She loves reading. She loves reading! (Yes, I know I repeated myself, Addy really loves to read) We can't keep enough books around for her. She is reading on a 3rd grade level and loves chapter books. She reads most books in one or two days. Addy is a great helper and just an all around great kid. Ben and I are so lucky to have her in our family. We only give the kids friend parties every other year starting at age 5, so Addy was thrilled to be able to have a party this year. She wanted a princess party with some of her friends from school. The girls came dressed up like princesses. They played games, ate pizza, went on a treasure hunt and ate cupcakes. I was amazed at how much noise six little girls can make. It was a great party and the girls had a lot of fun. I'm glad we get next year off though.
