Ten years ago today (well actually at 12:45am this morning) I became a mom. She gave me a run for my money entering this world but I didn't know any better and I took it all in stride. Soon we were a great pair enjoying my maternity leave from teaching - I could take her anywhere! She was such an easy baby and I relished every moment I spent with her. She marks the beginning of our family...

Here she is on her 10th birthday today... celebrating at Aunt Margy and Uncle Mark's cottage on Norway Lake. It was a perfect summer day and we enjoyed some relaxation and cottage life.
Wishing our girl a very, very happy birthday with so many more wonderful years to come. We are incredibly proud of her - she is becoming such an amazing person. She is thoughtful, smart, a really good friend, sibling, daughter, niece, grandchild and PERSON. She works hard and enjoys life. Her creativity inspires me. She is a joy.
I'm a little late but happy birthday Grace! So neat to look back through these photos! What beautiful, happy kids.
