Yikes.... I started this draft months ago and haven't been back. Funny how it got suddenly impossible to have computer time with a little toddler around. :)
But this post is important to me so I'm going to finish and post it.
-------------------------
So Kayla has turned 14. Old enough to get her learners permit, yet still young enough to need her mama. Its sweet watching her grow into a beautiful young lady.
God knew what he was doing when he gave her to me. Only 18 years old and a new boyfriend. Never would i have thought at that age that her daddy and i would be celebrating being together for 15 years, or having 5 siblings for this little girl. How sweet and lovely life has turned out for me.
And Kayla... Aww...she's smart and funny, and knows what she likes and doesn't like. She's a true oldest child in every way... Bossy and responsible. But she's unique and doesn't let the world dictate who she should be. She loves playing pirates with her siblings (although I'm watching that go to the wayside slowly with a slight ache in my heart), she writes...oh she writes and writes...stories of adventure are her thing. She is in cadets and takes great pride in that, and she'll often be found trying to play her favorite songs on her clarinet.
Oh sweet Kayla... Growing up, but still so little :) I so look forward to who you become, yet I celebrate right now for who you are.
