Leandra turns 11

How is it possible for me to have an 11 year old? I am only 25..wink wink. It is strange how much Leandra turning 11 has effected me. I feel as if I am on a count down of the time I have left to prepare her for life and share family experiences with her. The time has gone so fast between the first time I held her in my arms to now that is scares me how fast these next 8 to 10 years will go.  I pray that I won't loose focus on what is important and I can make each day count. 

As for celebrating Leandra birthday we are turning her kidish bedroom in to a cool tween/teen hangout! The makeover has become quite the project and we are in phase 2 of 4. 

She took cupcakes to choir/drama and volleyball practice to celebrate with her friends.
