Birthday girl, birthday girl

It’s true what they say: you blink, and all of a sudden you have a ten year old. And what a great ten year old she is. I love her determination, her silliness, and her devotion to animals. She’s smart and sweet, and so thoughtful. She made me a mom, and I am prouder of nothing more than that. She’ll try anything once; and she’ll keep on trying until she can’t try anymore. Her grandfather thinks she might become president some day, but whatever path she chooses in life, I know she is going to make a difference to those around her. She’s already made a difference in our lives, and I am just blessed to be raising this wonderful child. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA!!
