It is hard to believe that it has been 7 years since our "baby" was born. It seems like yesterday I was holding this sweet bundle, knowing that she was the final link to our family. I told her this is her last birthday. We will still do presents and cake on June 11th in "honor of her" but there was NO changing of the age...she will always be 7!! She thinks I am kidding and oh how I wish I wasn't. Life has gone too fast and my kids have grown so much!! The other night we were talking about this and she said (as she was cuddling on my lap):
Mariah: "It is okay, Mama, I will always be a cuddle bug."
Me: "You will always sit on my lap like this?"
Mariah: "Yes, even when I am 40!"
Me: "Oh...well, I might have to sit on your lap then."
Mariah: "Why?"
Me: "Because I will be 72 then!!" (okay that stinks!!)
Mariah: "*laughs hysterically* Wow!! That is old!!"
I love that child and am so thankful God decided to give her to me. I am overwhelmed when I am called Mom...it is the best name in the world!
Happy Birthday Mariah....we love you!!
