Eleven...

...today, Madi is 11. No longer a child & not yet a teen. Caught in those ever awkward days of being a pre-teen. Trying to find out who you are. Trying to be older, yet still wanting to be little just a while longer.

I pray that she will continue to be the sweet, loving little girl that enjoys a good snuggle as often as she can get it. Who still talks to Mom about everything. Who only changes by growing stronger and more confident in herself rather than becoming independent too quickly.

It's hard seeing your baby get older. But I look forward to seeing her mature and grow into a fine young lady. I want her to know that she will always be as precious to me as she is now. And that I am proud of her.
