Eleanor is Half-Way There

We celebrated Eleanor's 9th Birthday this week!  Gavin's been pointing out that this is half-time and we only have another 9 years with her at home.  I don't like it when he says that...The first nine have flown by.  We couldn't have been more blessed with an oldest child than our Eleanor.  I'd say some of her greatest talents are being helpful, empathetic, and super smart!

You can't help but have a good day when it starts with donuts and sprinkles!

 We're excited to see how many books Eleanor can read on her Kindle.  She's saved every single Friend magazine she's gotten since she turned 3.  Now, they can all be in her hand at once!



Bless her heart - she picked ice cream cones for her treat.  I can handle that this week!


Happy 9th Birthday Eleanor!  You're becoming a more beautiful young lady with each passing day. We love you!

Happy birthday to Eleanor! I was just saying the other day that Connor is almost 9, and thus half-way there. It's a crazy scary thought. But your girls is certainly on the path to a strong and bright future!
