happy birthday, matyn & tia

hey there,

well 26 July was matyn (and Tia)'s birthdays. matyn turned 12, so tia was 11. i can not beleive how fast matyn got to 12. i'm sure she skipped 9 & 10.. anyway.. we had a real good time. she invited a bunch of friends, we taught them how to play poker.. and they ate way to much suger, danced and then ended the day with a concert of Niemand at our church. you might know Niemand best for (joe niemand) who sang the theme song 'a new day' for the movie Faith like patatoes. they really enjoyed it.

so now my daughter is 12, which means to me that she is almost big, no longer small, and yet in the process of figuring out who she is and how she fits into our household, our world and into her world..

so bless you my baby.. i love you and i am so proud of you..

mommy
